Repair the repository state

Synopsis

guilt repair --full | --status

Description

Perform various repository repairs​. You must specify one mode of repair:

--full

Tries to repair everything possible​. Additionally, it resets the repository state by resetting the HEAD to what’s believed to be the proper commit, and resetting the applied stack​. The end result should be a repository with no patches applied​.

WARNING: Running this command may result in commits and working
directory changes being lost​. You may want to create a new reference
(e​.g​., branch, or reflog) to the original HEAD before using
"guilt repair"​.
--status

Upgrade the status file from old format to new​.
