Hello Mann 2719,

There is an issue here:-
if i use:-
Code:
name="`basename "$path"`"
echo <command> "$prefix$name.git"

I get output as:-
Code:
<command> user@my-server:/OpenWnn.git
<command> user@my-server:/cts.git 
<command> user@my-server:/dalvik.git

Which is not what i am looking for....

Basically from this code:-
Code:
prefix=user@my-server:
find . -depth -type d -name .git -printf '%h\0' | while read -d "" path ; do (
cd "$path" || exit $?
name="`basename "$path"`"
echo <command> "$prefix$PWD.git"
) done


i just don't want /home/git to be present in my output...


Desired output :-
Code:
<command> user@my-server:/android/adb/OpenWnn.git
<command> user@my-server:/mirror/android/adb/cts.git 
<command> user@my-server:/android/adb/dalvik.git
<command> user@my-server:/mirror/android/adb/ndk.git

GIT-LOST-FOUND(1)						    Git Manual							 GIT-LOST-FOUND(1)

NAME
git-lost-found - Recover lost refs that luckily have not yet been pruned SYNOPSIS
git lost-found DESCRIPTION
NOTE: this command is deprecated. Use git-fsck(1) with the option --lost-found instead. Finds dangling commits and tags from the object database, and creates refs to them in the .git/lost-found/ directory. Commits and tags that dereference to commits are stored in .git/lost-found/commit, and other objects are stored in .git/lost-found/other. OUTPUT
Prints to standard output the object names and one-line descriptions of any commits or tags found. EXAMPLE
Suppose you run git tag -f and mistype the tag to overwrite. The ref to your tag is overwritten, but until you run git prune, the tag itself is still there. $ git lost-found [1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6] GIT 0.99.9c ... Also you can use gitk to browse how any tags found relate to each other. $ gitk $(cd .git/lost-found/commit && echo ??*) After making sure you know which the object is the tag you are looking for, you can reconnect it to your regular .git/refs hierarchy. $ git cat-file -t 1ef2b196 tag $ git cat-file tag 1ef2b196 object fa41bbce8e38c67a218415de6cfa510c7e50032a type commit tag v0.99.9c tagger Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net> 1131059594 -0800 GIT 0.99.9c This contains the following changes from the "master" branch, since ... $ git update-ref refs/tags/not-lost-anymore 1ef2b196 $ git rev-parse not-lost-anymore 1ef2b196d909eed523d4f3c9bf54b78cdd6843c6 GIT
