In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc 8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the documentation could be built on either version. It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want inline literals on their own merits, which are: 1. The source is much easier to read when the literal contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead of `master{tilde}1`. 2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of quoting. This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up, or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the output). Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to making the source more readable, this patch fixes several formatting bugs: - HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B") - some code examples used the right-arrow character instead of '->' because they failed to quote - api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting HTML contained a bogus snippet like: <tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt> which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole sections of the page. - git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes) - mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for author@example.com - the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}". - using "prime" notation like: commit `C` and its replacement `C'` confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant to be inside matched quotes - asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our asterisks. In particular, `credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*` properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but literally passed through the backslash in the second case.

=============

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-reflog - Manage reflog information
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git reflog' <subcommand> <options>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
The command takes various subcommands, and different options
|
|
depending on the subcommand:
|
|
|
|
[verse]
|
|
'git reflog expire' [--dry-run] [--stale-fix] [--verbose]
|
|
[--expire=<time>] [--expire-unreachable=<time>] [--all] <refs>...
|
|
'git reflog delete' ref@\{specifier\}...
|
|
'git reflog' ['show'] [log-options] [<ref>]
|
|
|
|
Reflog is a mechanism to record when the tip of branches are
|
|
updated. This command is to manage the information recorded in it.
|
|
|
|
The subcommand "expire" is used to prune older reflog entries.
|
|
Entries older than `expire` time, or entries older than
|
|
`expire-unreachable` time and not reachable from the current
|
|
tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used
|
|
directly by the end users -- instead, see linkgit:git-gc[1].
|
|
|
|
The subcommand "show" (which is also the default, in the absence of any
|
|
subcommands) will take all the normal log options, and show the log of
|
|
the reference provided in the command-line (or `HEAD`, by default).
|
|
The reflog will cover all recent actions (HEAD reflog records branch switching
|
|
as well). It is an alias for `git log -g --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline`;
|
|
see linkgit:git-log[1].
|
|
|
|
The reflog is useful in various git commands, to specify the old value
|
|
of a reference. For example, `HEAD@{2}` means "where HEAD used to be
|
|
two moves ago", `master@{one.week.ago}` means "where master used to
|
|
point to one week ago", and so on. See linkgit:gitrevisions[7] for
|
|
more details.
|
|
|
|
To delete single entries from the reflog, use the subcommand "delete"
|
|
and specify the _exact_ entry (e.g. "`git reflog delete master@{2}`").
|
|
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
--stale-fix::
|
|
This revamps the logic -- the definition of "broken commit"
|
|
becomes: a commit that is not reachable from any of the refs and
|
|
there is a missing object among the commit, tree, or blob
|
|
objects reachable from it that is not reachable from any of the
|
|
refs.
|
|
+
|
|
This computation involves traversing all the reachable objects, i.e. it
|
|
has the same cost as 'git prune'. Fortunately, once this is run, we
|
|
should not have to ever worry about missing objects, because the current
|
|
prune and pack-objects know about reflogs and protect objects referred by
|
|
them.
|
|
|
|
--expire=<time>::
|
|
Entries older than this time are pruned. Without the
|
|
option it is taken from configuration `gc.reflogExpire`,
|
|
which in turn defaults to 90 days.
|
|
|
|
--expire-unreachable=<time>::
|
|
Entries older than this time and not reachable from
|
|
the current tip of the branch are pruned. Without the
|
|
option it is taken from configuration
|
|
`gc.reflogExpireUnreachable`, which in turn defaults to
|
|
30 days.
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
Instead of listing <refs> explicitly, prune all refs.
|
|
|
|
--updateref::
|
|
Update the ref with the sha1 of the top reflog entry (i.e.
|
|
<ref>@\{0\}) after expiring or deleting.
|
|
|
|
--rewrite::
|
|
While expiring or deleting, adjust each reflog entry to ensure
|
|
that the `old` sha1 field points to the `new` sha1 field of the
|
|
previous entry.
|
|
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Print extra information on screen.
