Question 2 of 8
What is the purpose of `git bundle verify`?
Verification checks the bundle and the receiving repository's prerequisite history.
Question 3 of 8
Why can `old..new` produce an incremental rather than self-contained bundle?
The excluded side becomes prerequisite history that the recipient must already have.
Question 4 of 8
What does `git bundle list-heads` report?
`list-heads` lists the references advertised by the bundle and can filter them by ref name.
Question 5 of 8
Which operation is intended to update destination refs using a bundle?
Git can fetch from a bundle using normal ref-update semantics.
Question 6 of 8
What happens when `git bundle unbundle` consumes a self-contained bundle?
The documented `unbundle` operation stores the objects and reports the defined refs; normal ref updates belong to higher-level fetch/clone workflows.
Question 7 of 8
Why is `git bundle create HEAD.bundle $(git rev-parse HEAD)` a bad pattern for the documented range/reference rules?
The current official manual requires the packaged revision/range to resolve appropriately as a ref; the raw object-ID form was locally verified to refuse an empty bundle.
Question 8 of 8
Which statement distinguishes a bundle from `git archive`?
Bundles are Git-aware transport artifacts; archives are file snapshots.
