  55. .PP
  56. \-\-ref\-format=<format>
  57. .RS 4
  58. The ref format to migrate the ref store to\&. Can be one of:
  59. .sp
  60. .RS 4
  61. .ie n \{\
  62. \h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
  63. .\}
  64. .el \{\
  65. .sp -1
  66. .IP \(bu 2.3
  67. .\}
  68. \fBfiles\fR
  69. for loose files with packed\-refs\&. This is the default\&.
  70. .RE

  72. .RS 4
  73. .ie n \{\

  78. .IP \(bu 2.3

  80. \fBreftable\fR
  81. for the reftable format\&. This format is experimental and its internals are subject to change\&.
  82. .RE
  83. .RE
  84. .PP
  85. \-\-dry\-run
  86. .RS 4
  87. Perform the migration, but do not modify the repository\&. The migrated refs will be written into a separate directory that can be inspected separately\&. The name of the directory will be reported on stdout\&. This can be used to double check that the migration works as expected before performing the actual migration\&.
  88. .RE
  89. .PP
  90. \-\-reflog, \-\-no\-reflog
  91. .RS 4
  92. Choose between migrating the reflog data to the new backend, and discarding them\&. The default is "\-\-reflog", to migrate\&.
  93. .RE
  94. .sp
  95. The following options are specific to \fIgit refs verify\fR:
  96. .PP
  97. \-\-strict
  98. .RS 4
  99. Enable stricter error checking\&. This will cause warnings to be reported as errors\&. See
  100. \fBgit-fsck\fR(1)\&.
  101. .RE
  102. .PP
  103. \-\-verbose
  104. .RS 4
  105. When verifying the reference database consistency, be chatty\&.
  106. .RE
  107. .SH "KNOWN LIMITATIONS"
  108. .sp
  109. The ref format migration has several known limitations in its current form:
  110. .sp
  111. .RS 4
  112. .ie n \{\
  113. \h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
  114. .\}
  115. .el \{\
  116. .sp -1
  117. .IP \(bu 2.3
  118. .\}
  119. It is not possible to migrate repositories that have worktrees\&.
  120. .RE
  121. .sp
  122. .RS 4
  123. .ie n \{\
  124. \h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
  125. .\}
  126. .el \{\
  127. .sp -1
  128. .IP \(bu 2.3
  129. .\}
  130. There is no way to block concurrent writes to the repository during an ongoing migration\&. Concurrent writes can lead to an inconsistent migrated state\&. Users are expected to block writes on a higher level\&. If your repository is registered for scheduled maintenance, it is recommended to unregister it first with git\-maintenance(1)\&.
  131. .RE
  132. .sp
  133. These limitations may eventually be lifted\&.
