Hi,
Not sure what has happened but it was hardly expected:
1. I have individual bare git repos in ~/scm and ~/scm/linux-2.6 is one
of them (currently):
intrepid:~/scm/linux-2.6$ find -not -type d
./logs/HEAD
./logs/refs/heads/lirc
./logs/refs/heads/viafb
./logs/refs/heads/ixp4xx23
./logs/refs/heads/linux-stable
./logs/refs/heads/wireless
./logs/refs/heads/ixp4xx-hss-chan-old
./logs/refs/heads/alpine
./logs/refs/heads/linux-test
./logs/refs/heads/linux-router-test
./logs/refs/heads/origin
./logs/refs/heads/ixp4xx-upstream
./logs/refs/heads/linux-router (and so on)
./config
./objects/**********
./description
./HEAD
./hooks/pre-rebase
./hooks/applypatch-msg
./hooks/update
./hooks/post-commit
./hooks/commit-msg
./hooks/pre-commit
./hooks/pre-applypatch
./hooks/post-receive
./hooks/post-update
./info/refs
Config file mostly contains:
[diff]
renames = copies
[core]
preferSymlinkRefs = true
(plus less relevant things).
intrepid:~/scm/linux-2.6$ cat HEAD
ref: refs/heads/origin
There used to be a number of refs and heads but now they are all gone:
intrepid:~/scm/linux-2.6$ find refs/
refs/
refs/heads
refs/tags
2. Working dirs using this repo are in /usr/src/linux* and
/usr/src/linux-test is one of them, currently (.git dir):
lrwx 1 30 2007-10-09 00:55 config -> ~/scm/linux-2.6/config

What I did was (copy & paste):
intrepid:/usr/src/linux-test$ git-status
# On branch eelogger
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
intrepid:/usr/src/linux-test$ git-rebase v2.6.24

error: Ref refs/heads/eelogger is at 9465fea31dff47dee3d0e0018d7aa52d16e14c33 but expected e00e34771aac93479c4d939e4e5cceeca64b38f8
fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/heads/eelogger'.
Could not move back to refs/heads/eelogger
Now all references are gone, the objects seem to be packed correctly
into one 230 MB file (there are some individual object files left,
perhaps orphans).
I have been trying to use gitweb while git-rebase was operating but it
wasn't able to find anything.
How could that happened?
I did the same many times and never had anything like that, but perhaps
the symlinks caused that? It never autopacked while rebasing.
/usr/src/linux-test/.git/info/refs seems to contain all the heads and
tags (including the new eeprom head).
e00e34771aac93479c4d939e4e5cceeca64b38f8 is the old eelogger head
9465fea31dff47dee3d0e0018d7aa52d16e14c33 is the new (rebased) head
git-core-1.5.4.1-1.fc8, it's practically up-to-date Fedora 8 x86_64
SMP.
