git-replace(1) |
||||||
|
============== |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
NAME |
||||||
|
---- |
||||||
|
git-replace - Create, list, delete refs to replace objects |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
SYNOPSIS |
||||||
|
-------- |
||||||
|
[verse] |
||||||
|
'git replace' [-f] <object> <replacement> |
||||||
|
'git replace' -d <object>... |
||||||
|
'git replace' -l [<pattern>] |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
DESCRIPTION |
||||||
|
----------- |
||||||
|
Adds a 'replace' reference in `.git/refs/replace/` |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The name of the 'replace' reference is the SHA1 of the object that is |
||||||
|
replaced. The content of the replace reference is the SHA1 of the |
||||||
|
replacement object. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Unless `-f` is given, the replace reference must not yet exist in |
||||||
|
`.git/refs/replace/` directory. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
OPTIONS |
||||||
|
------- |
||||||
|
-f:: |
||||||
|
If an existing replace ref for the same object exists, it will |
||||||
|
be overwritten (instead of failing). |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-d:: |
||||||
|
Delete existing replace refs for the given objects. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
-l <pattern>:: |
||||||
|
List replace refs for objects that match the given pattern (or |
||||||
|
all if no pattern is given). |
||||||
|
Typing "git replace" without arguments, also lists all replace |
||||||
|
refs. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
BUGS |
||||||
|
---- |
||||||
|
Comparing blobs or trees that have been replaced with those that |
||||||
|
replace them will not work properly. And using 'git reset --hard' to |
||||||
|
go back to a replaced commit will move the branch to the replacement |
||||||
|
commit instead of the replaced commit. |
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
There may be other problems when using 'git rev-list' related to |
||||||
|
pending objects. And of course things may break if an object of one |
||||||
|
type is replaced by an object of another type (for example a blob |
||||||
|
replaced by a commit). |
