From 25a0023f28600102f54e7529c20da5928c3e9c75 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick Steinhardt Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2024 07:29:49 +0200 Subject: builtin/refs: new command to migrate ref storage formats Introduce a new command that allows the user to migrate a repository between ref storage formats. This new command is implemented as part of a new git-refs(1) executable. This is due to two reasons: - There is no good place to put the migration logic in existing commands. git-maintenance(1) felt unwieldy, and git-pack-refs(1) is not the correct place to put it, either. - I had it in my mind to create a new low-level command for accessing refs for quite a while already. git-refs(1) is that command and can over time grow more functionality relating to refs. This should help discoverability by consolidating low-level access to refs into a single executable. As mentioned in the preceding commit that introduces the ref storage format migration logic, the new `git refs migrate` command still has a bunch of restrictions. These restrictions are documented accordingly.
