It will only do this if run with the -`--force` option, since that rewrites history and throws out missing data. -Note that the `--force` option never touches tags, even if they are no -longer usable due to missing data. - -After running this command, you will probably want to run `git fsck` to -verify it fixed the repository. Note that fsck may still complain about -objects referenced by the reflog, or the stash, if they were unable to be -recovered. This command does not try to clean up either the reflog or the -stash. - -Since this command unpacks all packs in the repository, you may want to -run `git gc` afterwards. - -# AUTHOR - -Joey Hess <joey@kitenet.net> - -<http://git-annex.branchable.com/> - -Warning: Automatically converted into a man page by mdwn2man.
