Because we use "lost-found" as the directory name to hold dangling object names, it is confusing to call the command git-lost+found, although it makes sense and is even cute ;-). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

NAME
|
|
----
|
|
git-lost-found - Recover lost refs that luckily have not yet been pruned.
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-lost-found'
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Finds dangling commits and tags from the object database, and
|
|
creates refs to them in .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and
|
|
tags that dereference to commits go to .git/lost-found/commit
|
|
and others are stored in .git/lost-found/other directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
OUTPUT
|
|
------
|
|
One line description from the commit and tag found along with
|
|
their object name are printed on the standard output.
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Suppose you run 'git tag -f' and mistyped the tag to overwrite.
|
|
The ref to your tag is overwritten, but until you run 'git
|
|
prune', it is still there.

|
|
|
|
Also you can use gitk to browse how they relate to each other
|
|
and existing (probably old) tags.
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
$ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*)
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
After making sure that it is the object you are looking for, you
|
|
can reconnect it to your regular .git/refs hierarchy.
