3-12. Loosing commits
Problem
You want to verify that the revisions not accessible through symbolic references can be
lost. You can do it following this procedure:
• Commit the changes.
• Reset the history with
$ git reset -hard [REVISION]
. Some
commits will be no longer returned by
$ git log
command. They
remain unchanged in the database. You can access them using reflog or
SHA-1 names.
• Once you clear the reflog, the revisions that are not printed by
$ git
log
become unreachable. It means that they are still in the database but
you can access them only if you know their SHA-1 names.
