6 bup-rm - remove references to archive content (CAUTION: EXPERIMENTAL)
7
9 bup rm [-#|–verbose] <branch|save...>
10
12 bup rm removes the indicated branches (backup sets) and saves. By it‐
13 self, this command does not delete any actual data (nor recover any
14 storage space), but it may make it very difficult or impossible to re‐
15 fer to the deleted items, unless there are other references to them
16 (e.g. tags).
17
18 A subsequent garbage collection, either by a bup gc, or by a normal
19 git gc, may permanently delete data that is no longer reachable from
20 the remaining branches or tags, and reclaim the related storage space.
21
22 NOTE: This is one of the few bup commands that modifies your archive in
23 intentionally destructive ways.
24
26 -v, --verbose
27 increase verbosity (can be used more than once).
28
29 -#, --compress=#
30 set the compression level to # (a value from 0-9, where 9 is the
31 highest and 0 is no compression). The default is 6. Note that
32 bup rm may only write new commits.
33
35 # Delete the backup set (branch) foo and a save in bar.
36 $ bup rm /foo /bar/2014-10-21-214720
