Backup only local refs? #2

Is it at all practical for your git-backup tool to only back up local (i.e. unpushed) refs such that one can simply clone a repo and then restore a git-backup backup on top of that to get back to a working state?

This could be a pre-system backup step so that one is not backing up entire git repos that exist elsewhere like on GitHub.

Hi, this tool isn't really maintained anymore. Feel free to experiment. You can do it surely with git bundle but you'll have to write a script that determines which refs are "local".
