bk gone(7.3ce) BitKeeper User's Manual bk gone(7.3ce)
NAME
bk gone - mark a file (key) as gone
SYNOPSIS
bk gone [-q] [<key key ...> | -]
DESCRIPTION
The bk gone command is used when a file has been lost or physically
deleted and the administrator of the repository has decided that the
file should be marked as gone.
The key of the file can be generated from an existing file as follows:
$ bk log -r+ -d:ROOTKEY: file
The key that is returned from the above command needs to be marked as
gone if the file is to be removed from the repository.
Sometimes a file is lost (i.e. the gotten file and the s.file have been
removed by accident). Whenever repository-level commands are run, con-
sistency checks are performed. When these checks run, they will notice
that a file is lost and will complain. After looking over the consis-
tency check output carefully, you can run the following command to
automatically mark all the missing files as gone:
bk -r check -ag | bk -R gone -
OPTIONS
-q be quiet.
NOTE
Just adding the key to the gone file does not make the file "go away."
All it does is make BitKeeper be happy if the file is actually gone.
If you want to really remove the file, save the key, physically remove
the file, and run "bk -r check -a". If that complains, run bk gone on
the listed keys.
