PATCH 1/1 Document count-objects pack

From: Daniele Sassoli <[email protected]>

Juno added the printing of "packs" with ae72f685418b.
When 0bdaa1216 refactored the docs for the -v option, this was missed.

s/Juno/Junio/

But commits are usually just listed as-is without mentioning authors or other metadata. Something like this:[1]

ae72f685418 (count-objects -v: show number of packs as well., 2006-12-27) added packs to the output of -v. 0bdaa12169b (git-count-objects.txt: describe each line in -v output, 2013-02-08) forgot to include packs.

The text above is a bit more terse around the commit references since the subject line for the second commit says what the intent was.

Alternatively, just referencing the second commit:

0bdaa12169b (git-count-objects.txt: describe each line in -v output, 2013-02-08) forgot to include packs.

Document count-objects -v - packs output

I’m very sorry that I missed this the first time around before you sent out this new version... but also the subject line

Document count-objects -v - packs output

Should start with a lowercase “area” like e.g.

    doc: count-objects: ...

Or:

    count-objects: ...

Or some other variation (see git log --oneline --follow Documentation/git-count-objects.adoc).
