GIT-LOST-FOUND(1) Git Manual GIT-LOST-FOUND(1)NAME
git-lost-found - Recover lost refs that luckily have not yet been pruned
SYNOPSIS
git lost-found
DESCRIPTION
NOTE: this command is deprecated. Use git-fsck(1) with the option --lost-found instead.
Finds dangling commits and tags from the object database, and creates refs to them in the .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and tags that
dereference to commits are stored in .git/lost-found/commit, and other objects are stored in .git/lost-found/other.
OUTPUT
Prints to standard output the object names and one-line descriptions of any commits or tags found.
EXAMPLE
Suppose you run git tag -f and mistype the tag to overwrite. The ref to your tag is overwritten, but until you run git prune, the tag
itself is still there.
$ git lost-found
[1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6] GIT 0.99.9c
...
Also you can use gitk to browse how any tags found relate to each other.
$ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*)
After making sure you know which the object is the tag you are looking for, you can reconnect it to your regular refs hierarchy by using
the update-ref command.
$ git cat-file -t 1ef2b196
tag
$ git cat-file tag 1ef2b196
object fa41bbce8e38c67a218415de6cfa510c7e50032a
type commit
tag v0.99.9c
tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 1131059594 -0800
GIT 0.99.9c
This contains the following changes from the "master" branch, since

$ git update-ref refs/tags/not-lost-anymore 1ef2b196
$ git rev-parse not-lost-anymore

git-name-rev - Find symbolic names for given revs
SYNOPSIS
git name-rev [--tags] [--refs=<pattern>]
( --all | --stdin | <committish>... )
DESCRIPTION
Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any format parsable by git rev-parse.
OPTIONS --tags
Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
--refs=<pattern>
Only use refs whose names match a given shell pattern.
--all
List all commits reachable from all refs
--stdin
Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of nameable commits, and pass to stdout
--name-only
Instead of printing both the SHA-1 and the name, print only the name. If given with --tags the usual tag prefix of "tags/" is also
omitted from the name, matching the output of git-describe more closely.
--no-undefined
Die with error code != 0 when a reference is undefined, instead of printing undefined.
--always
Show uniquely abbreviated commit object as fallback.
EXAMPLE
Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody wrote you about that fantastic commit
33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a. Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but not the context.
Enter git name-rev:
% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a tags/v0.99~940
Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.
Another nice thing you can do is:
% git log | git name-rev --stdin

~#hello -all,
Many UNIX/Linux/BSD/etc books warn about turn off the puter without a proper shutdown. This can damage files which are open at that moment. Seems logical to me. My question is.. does the system warn you when there are damaged files when the system is up again? I had a power failure... (7 Replies)
