-----------
|
|
|

This command provides low-level access to refs.
|
|
|
|
COMMANDS
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
migrate::
|
|
Migrate ref store between different formats.
|
|
|
|
verify::
|
|
Verify reference database consistency.
|
|
|
|
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.txt[]
|
|
|
|
--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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
KNOWN LIMITATIONS
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The ref format migration has several known limitations in its current form:
|
|
|
|
* It is not possible to migrate repositories that have reflogs.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
