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).
