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). | ||
