The code called this operation "desperate" but the option flag is -r and the word "recover" describes what it does better. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

=====================

NAME
 | 
						|
----
 | 
						|
git-unpack-objects - Unpack objects from a packed archive
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
--------
 | 
						|
'git-unpack-objects' [-n] [-q] [-r] <pack-file
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
-----------
 | 
						|
Read a packed archive (.pack) from the standard input, expanding
 | 
						|
the objects contained within and writing them into the repository in
 | 
						|
"loose" (one object per file) format.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Objects that already exist in the repository will *not* be unpacked
 | 
						|
from the pack-file.  Therefore, nothing will be unpacked if you use
 | 
						|
this command on a pack-file that exists within the target repository.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Please see the `git-repack` documentation for options to generate
 | 
						|
new packs and replace existing ones.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
OPTIONS
 | 
						|
-------
 | 
						|
-n::
 | 
						|
        Only list the objects that would be unpacked, don't actually unpack
 | 
						|
        them.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-q::
 | 
						|
	The command usually shows percentage progress.  This
 | 
						|
	flag suppresses it.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
-r::
 | 
						|
	When unpacking a corrupt packfile, the command dies at
 | 
						|
	the first corruption.  This flag tells it to keep going
 | 
						|
	and make the best effort to recover as many objects as
 | 
						|
	possible.
