I wonder if all of this would be less confusing as:
+--keep-biggest-pack:: + All packs except the largest pack and those marked with a `.keep` + files are consolidated into a single pack.
I.e. just skimming these docs I'd expect "base" to somehow be the thing that we initially cloned, of course in almost all cases that *is* the largest pack, but not necessarily. So rather than communicate that expectation let's just say largest/biggest? Maybe I'm the only one who finds this confusing...
