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). |
||||
