archives in intentionally destructive ways. Though if an attempt to
join or restore the data you still care about succeeds after you've
run this command, then that's a fairly encouraging sign that it worked
-correctly. (The t/compare-trees command in the source tree can be
+correctly. (The dev/compare-trees command in the source tree can be
used to help test before/after results.)
# METHODS
---ff *ref*, --ff: *ref* *dest*
+\--ff *ref*, \--ff: *ref* *dest*
: fast-forward *dest* to match *ref*. If *dest* is not specified
and *ref* names a save, set *dest* to the save's branch. If
*dest* is not specified and *ref* names a branch or a tag, use the
same name for *dest*.
---append *ref*, --append: *ref* *dest*
+\--append *ref*, \--append: *ref* *dest*
: append all of the commits represented by *ref* to *dest* as new
commits. If *ref* names a directory/tree, append a new commit for
that tree. If *dest* is not specified and *ref* names a save or
branch, set *dest* to the *ref* branch name. If *dest* is not
specified and *ref* names a tag, use the same name for *dest*.
---pick *ref*, --pick: *ref* *dest*
+\--pick *ref*, \--pick: *ref* *dest*
: append the single commit named by *ref* to *dest* as a new commit.
If *dest* is not specified and *ref* names a save, set *dest* to
the *ref* branch name. If *dest* is not specified and *ref* names
a tag, use the same name for *dest*.
---force-pick *ref*, --force-pick: *ref* *dest*
+\--force-pick *ref*, \--force-pick: *ref* *dest*
: do the same thing as `--pick`, but don't refuse to overwrite an
existing tag.
---new-tag *ref*, --new-tag: *ref* *dest*
+\--new-tag *ref*, \--new-tag: *ref* *dest*
: create a *dest* tag for *ref*, but refuse to overwrite an existing
tag. If *dest* is not specified and *ref* names a tag, use the
same name for *dest*.
---replace *ref*, --replace: *ref* *dest*
+\--replace *ref*, \--replace: *ref* *dest*
: clobber *dest* with *ref*, overwriting any existing tag, or
replacing any existing branch. If *dest* is not specified and
*ref* names a branch or tag, use the same name for *dest*.
---unnamed *ref*
+\--unnamed *ref*
: copy *ref* into the destination repository, without any name,
leaving a potentially dangling reference until/unless the object
named by *ref* is referred to some other way (cf. `bup tag`).
# OPTIONS
--s, --source=*path*
+-s, \--source=*path*
: use *path* as the source repository, instead of the default.
--r, --remote=*host*:*path*
+-r, \--remote=*host*:*path*
: store the indicated items on the given remote server. If *path*
is omitted, uses the default path on the remote server (you still
need to include the ':'). The connection to the remote server is
private key to use for the SSH connection, we recommend you use
the `~/.ssh/config` file.
--c, --print-commits
+-c, \--print-commits
: for each updated branch, print the new git commit id.
--t, --print-trees
+-t, \--print-trees
: for each updated branch, print the new git tree id of the
filesystem root.
---print-tags
+\--print-tags
: for each updated tag, print the new git id.
--v, --verbose
+-v, \--verbose
: increase verbosity (can be used more than once). With
`-v`, print the name of every item fetched, with `-vv` add
directory names, and with `-vvv` add every filename.
---bwlimit=*bytes/sec*
+\--bwlimit=*bytes/sec*
: don't transmit more than *bytes/sec* bytes per second to the
server. This can help avoid sucking up all your network
bandwidth. Use a suffix like k, M, or G to specify multiples of
1024, 1024\*1024, 1024\*1024\*1024 respectively.
--*#*, --compress=*#*
+-*#*, \--compress=*#*
: set the compression level to # (a value from 0-9, where
9 is the highest and 0 is no compression). The default
is 1 (fast, loose compression)
