27 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp .Sh DESCRIPTION
29 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp is the repository maintenance tool for the
31 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp version control system.
34 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp stores the history of tracked files in a Git repository, as used
35 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp by the Git version control system.
37 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp provides commands for inspecting and manipulating the on-disk state of
38 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp Git repositories.
39 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp The repository format is described in
40 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp .Xr git-repository 5 .
43 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp provides global and command-specific options.
44 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp Global options must precede the command name, and are as follows:
45 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp .Bl -tag -width tenletters
47 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp Display usage information and exit immediately.

49 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp Display program version and exit immediately.
52 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp The commands for
54 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp are as follows:

59 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp .Xr got.conf 5 ,
60 20662ea0 2021-04-10 stsp and the number of objects stored in the repository, in packed or

82 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp .Ar reference
83 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp argument may either specify a specific reference or a reference namespace,
84 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp in which case all references within this namespace will be used.
86 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp .Cm gotadmin pack
87 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp always ignores references in the
88 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp .Pa refs/got/
89 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp namespace, effectively treating such references as if they did not refer
90 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp to any objects.
92 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp The options for
93 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp .Cm gotadmin pack

99 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp Unless this option is specified, only loose objects will be added.

109 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp .Ar reference
110 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp argument may either specify a specific reference or a reference namespace,
111 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp in which case all references within this namespace will be excluded.
114 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp option may be specified multiple times to build a list of references to exclude.
116 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp Exclusion takes precedence over inclusion.
117 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp If a reference appears in both the included and excluded lists, it will
118 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp be excluded.

133 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp command may be used to recover from a corrupt or missing index.
134 05118f5a 2021-06-22 stsp A given pack file will always yield the same bit-identical index.
