DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This command provides low-level access to refs.
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
`migrate`::
|
|
Migrate ref store between different formats.
|
|
|
|
`verify`::
|
|
Verify reference database consistency.
|
|
|
|
list::
|
|
List references in the repository with support for filtering,
|
|
formatting, and sorting. This subcommand is an alias for
|
|
linkgit:git-for-each-ref[1] and offers identical functionality.
|
|
|
|
exists::
|
|
Check whether the given reference exists. Returns an exit code of 0 if
|
|
it does, 2 if it is missing, and 1 in case looking up the reference
|
|
failed with an error other than the reference being missing. This does
|
|
not verify whether the reference resolves to an actual object.
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The following options are specific to `git refs migrate`:
|
|
|
|
`--ref-format=<format>`::
|
|
The ref format to migrate the ref store to. Can be one of:
|
|
+
|
|
include::ref-storage-format.adoc[]
|
|
|
|
`--dry-run`::
|
|
Perform the migration, but do not modify the repository. The migrated
|
|
refs will be written into a separate directory that can be inspected
|
|
separately. The name of the directory will be reported on stdout. This
|
|
can be used to double check that the migration works as expected before
|
|
performing the actual migration.
|
|
|
|
`--reflog`::
|
|
`--no-reflog`::
|
|
Choose between migrating the reflog data to the new backend,
|
|
and discarding them. The default is "--reflog", to migrate.
|
|
|
|
The following options are specific to `git refs verify`:
|
|
|
|
`--strict`::
|
|
Enable stricter error checking. This will cause warnings to be
|
|
reported as errors. See linkgit:git-fsck[1].
|
|
|
|
`--verbose`::
|
|
When verifying the reference database consistency, be chatty.
|
|
|
|
The following options are specific to 'git refs list':
|
|
|
|
include::for-each-ref-options.adoc[]

|
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The ref format migration has several known limitations in its current form:
|
|
|
|
* It is not possible to migrate repositories that have worktrees.
|
|
|
|
* There is no way to block concurrent writes to the repository during an
|
|
ongoing migration. Concurrent writes can lead to an inconsistent migrated
|
|
state. Users are expected to block writes on a higher level. If your
|
|
repository is registered for scheduled maintenance, it is recommended to
|
|
unregister it first with git-maintenance(1).
|
|
|
|
These limitations may eventually be lifted.
