bk stripdel(7.3ce)          BitKeeper User's Manual         bk stripdel(7.3ce)

NAME
       bk stripdel - strip deltas out of an s.file

SYNOPSIS
       bk stripdel [-bCcdq] [-r<rev>] <filename>

DESCRIPTION
       The  bk stripdel command is used to "strip" deltas from a revision his-
       tory.  The deltas, once stripped, are not recoverable.

       This command is typically called by the bk clone or the  bk  undo  com-
       mands, and perhaps the bk import command.  It can be called directly if
       you wish to remove certain deltas from a file.

       The bk stripdel command  will  fail  if  the  specified  revisions  are
       included in a changeset and the "-C" option is not present.

WARNING
       It is an extremely bad idea to use the "-C" option, it can corrupt your
       repository.  Instead, consider the "-x" option of bk get.

OPTIONS
       -C      Do not respect cset boundaries, used by bk undo.
       -c      Checks if the specified rev[s] can be stripped but do not strip
               them.
       -d      Strip deltas which are part of a MONOTONIC file.
       -q      Run quietly.
       -r<rev> Set of revisions to be removed.
