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.
