Pull request overview

Note

Copilot was unable to run its full agentic suite in this review.

Adds documentation guidance for preserving branch work when using the Git cleanup tool (git-fixer), by describing a manual backup/restore workflow for branches that cannot be merged into main.

Changes:

  • Added a “Workaround to Retain Branch Contents” section describing how to back up and recreate branches after cleanup.
  • Updated both Ref Guide 10 and Ref Guide (non-10) versions of the “Repository size” troubleshooting page to include the workaround.

Reviewed changes

Copilot reviewed 2 out of 2 changed files in this pull request and generated 6 comments.

File Description
content/en/docs/refguide10/version-control/version-control-troubleshooting/repository-size.md Adds the branch-retention workaround section; file appears to be fully re-serialized (format/line-ending churn).
content/en/docs/refguide/version-control/version-control-troubleshooting/repository-size.md Adds the same workaround section to the non-10 refguide page.

@tknippenberg , thank you for your PR. I've reviewed it, please take a look at the changes.

Text was copied and adjusted by AI from https://docs.mendix.com/developerportal/general/migrate-to-git/#workaround-to-retain-branch-contents. There it's about the Git migration, on this page it's about the Git cleanup.
If you're doing text changes here, you may want to consider also doing that on the 'original' page.
