SYNOPSIS

'git refs migrate' --ref-format=<format> [--dry-run]
'git refs verify' [--strict] [--verbose]

DESCRIPTION

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:

  • files は、 パックされた ref を持つ緩いファイル(loose files)用です。 これがデフォルトです。

  • reftable は reftable 形式です。 この形式は実験的なものであり、 その内部は変更される可能性があります。

--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 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.
