GIT-LOST-FOUND(1)				GIT-LOST-FOUND(1)

NAME
       git-lost-found  -  Recover  lost	 refs  that  luckily have not yet been
       pruned

SYNOPSIS
       git lost-found

DESCRIPTION
       NOTE: this command is  deprecated.  Use	git-fsck(1)  with  the	option
       --lost-found instead.

       Finds  dangling	commits and tags from the object database, and creates
       refs to them in the .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and  tags  that
       dereference  to commits are stored in .git/lost-found/commit, and other
       objects are stored in .git/lost-found/other.

OUTPUT
       Prints to standard output the object names and one-line descriptions of
       any commits or tags found.

EXAMPLE
       Suppose you run git tag -f and mistype the tag to overwrite. The ref to
       your tag is overwritten, but until you run git prune, the tag itself is
       still there.

       .ft C
       $ git lost-found
       [1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6] GIT 0.99.9c
       ...
       .ft

       Also  you  can  use  gitk  to  browse how any tags found relate to each
       other.

       .ft C
       $ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*)
       .ft

       After making sure you know which the object is the tag you are  looking
       for, you can reconnect it to your regular .git/refs hierarchy.
