The HEAD@{...} syntax was documented in git-rev-parse manpage, which
is hard to find by someone looking for the documentation of porcelain.
git-reflog is probably the place where one expects to find this.
While I'm there, "git revlog show whatever" was also undocumented.

NAME

----
|
|
git-reflog - Manage reflog information
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'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 [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 are not reachable from the current
|
|
tip, are removed from the reflog. This is typically not used
|
|
directly by the end users -- instead, see gitlink: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 gitlink: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 gitlink:git-rev-parse[1] for
|
|
more details.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 are 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.
|
|
|
|
--verbose::
|
|
Print extra information on screen.
