bk abort(7.3ce) BitKeeper User's Manual bk abort(7.3ce) NAME bk abort - abort a failed pull or push SYNOPSIS bk abort [-f] [<repository_root>] bk abort [-S] DESCRIPTION The abort command can be used to clean up a failed update of a reposi- tory so that you can try the update again. Updates sometimes fail, leaving the PENDING and RESYNC directories behind. Since the existence of the RESYNC directory acts as a global repository lock, you probably don't want to leave it there for an extended period of time. If the update (i.e., a bk pull or bk push) failed and there has been no manual resolve work done yet, there is no harm in aborting and trying again. If manual resolution has been done, it may be worth the effort to figure out what went wrong and try to fix it. OPTIONS -f Do not prompt for confirmation, just do it. -S In a nested repository, limit the abort to this component. Typi- cally used to clean up after a port command. FILES PENDING This directory, found at the root of your repository, is used to hold incoming data while it is transferred. RESYNC This directory, found at the root of your repository, is used to hold copies of your revision control files while they are being merged. BUGS Abort should go look to see if you have done any merging and refuse to abort without -f if you have. SEE ALSO bk pull bk push bk resolve CATEGORY Repository BitKeeper Inc 1E1 bk abort(7.3ce)
