> incremental-repack::
> 	The `incremental-repack` job repacks the object directory
> 	using the `multi-pack-index` feature. In order to prevent race
> 	conditions with concurrent Git commands, it follows a two-step
> 	process. First, it calls `git multi-pack-index expire` to delete
> 	pack-files unreferenced by the `multi-pack-index` file. Second, it
> 	calls `git multi-pack-index repack` to select several small
> 	pack-files and repack them into a bigger one, and then update the
> 	`multi-pack-index` entries that refer to the small pack-files to
> 	refer to the new pack-file. This prepares those small pack-files
> 	for deletion upon the next run of `git multi-pack-index expire`.
> 	The selection of the small pack-files is such that the expected
> 	size of the big pack-file is at least the batch size; see the
> 	`--batch-size` option for the `repack` subcommand in
> 	linkgit:git-multi-pack-index[1]. The default batch-size is zero,
> 	which is a special case that attempts to repack all pack-files
> 	into a single pack-file.

Thanks, this looks good.
