After the recent fix for reflog migrations posted to the list, I
converted two work repositories. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as
though the reflog for `refs/stash` was converted, so I think I may have
lost my stashes. While I would have liked to retain them, fortunately
they were not essential in these repos and I can live without them, but
we probably do want to fix this issue since users in general will want
to maintain them.
Here's a shell script that reproduces the problem on the latest `next`:
----
#!/bin/sh -e
rm -fr test-repo
git version
git init -b dev test-repo
cd test-repo
touch abc.txt
git add abc.txt
git commit -m +
echo abc >abc.txt
git stash
git show stash@{0}
git stash list -p
echo "Converting..."
git refs migrate --ref-format=reftable
echo "Now using reftable."
git stash show
git show stash@{0}
git stash list -p
----
My expectation is that the script exits 0 and prints the stashes a
second time, but it exits early and unsuccessfully and the stashes don't
appear to be preserved. It does appear to work correctly if you comment
out the `git refs migrate` command.
I would have liked to have done more investigation, but I'm dealing with
some administrivia in my personal life that has taken up more of my
evenings than I would have liked, so I have not done so.
I also apologize for sending a constant barrage of bug reports that
might make it seem like I'm dissatisfied with the work on reftable, when
in fact that's not the case and I do very much appreciate the work being
done. I did promise Patrick that I'd try it out and be the guinea pig,
and so I'm doing so. I'm excited to see it end up in its final state.
