git log shows your commit history... I'm not sure what you're trying to do with git reflog directly on the master... Can you help me understand?
If I clone your repo, I see this:
$ git reflog
12fcbf1 HEAD@{0}: clone: from git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/amp/org.eclipse.amp.git
git log from both my clone, and directly in /gitroot on the server, both give me this: $ git log commit 12fcbf12efa90915b7726729abdf2ccd6ee7c823 Author: mparker <milesparker@gmail.com> Date: Wed Jun 8 11:57:28 2011 -0700 GEF3D dependencies snuck into IDE and Escape. commit f6e6b01e132090aa34f0528955628ec67b6489fc Author: mparker <milesparker@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jun 7 13:48:38 2011 -0700 Build final documentation. commit 507068042ef675b89c9949b465dd4bcade891ca2 Author: mparker <milesparker@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jun 7 13:36:18 2011 -0700 Update build categories. commit c79b1f8c0ec014f676dce8c12f254260e1ab81fd Author: mparker <milesparker@gmail.com> Date: Tue Jun 7 12:53:42 2011 -0700 [snip] THx for quick reply. What I'm trying to do is rescue some pushes that Jonas Ruettimann made. There should be a number of changes June 7 (yesterday) as well as some from a little over a week ago. I'm not sure why they went away..there was a permissions issue in the prior bug but that was resolved, and I know I saw his earlier changes from last week because I reviewed them. But now they are not showing up in the log. I'm guessing that I somehow messed up a merge, though I'm not sure how as I was careful to fetch before pushing stuff back. My hope was that if I could locate the orphaned refs, pull those, and then attempt to merge them back, but I don't even know what the refs are. My understanding was that I could get all of the history by running reflog on the remote repos. > Ruettimann made. There should be a number of changes June 7 (yesterday) as well

We can restore a copy of your repo from tape backup to a different location, so that you can compare the contents. Let me know if that works, and what date you'd like.

I think it's easier to merge back in my local repository. So far I haven't deleted anything. =)
Thanks Denis. I guess my concern is "why did this happen, and how can we prevent it in future?". i.e. I wonder if it is something that we are doing wrong, or potentially something up with git related to the prior permisions issues with Jonas. I know that I never did a Reset, and I thought that that was the only way to lose the tree, and that is a bit concerning. We'll just have to keep an eye on it, I guess. I do wonder why we don't see anything in the reflog. Any ideas there? We've since added mechanisms to help protect Git repos, such as denyDeletes and denyNonFastForward. I'll close this as fixed. +1 |
