HELP_TEXT="USAGE: git-clean-refs [flags]
       repo forall -v -c git clean-refs [flags]

This script can be used to restore ChromiumOS projects which have broken git
refs, allowing repo to subsequently sync the project without errors.

You can save this file anywhere in your \$PATH, or run the \`repo forall\`
command from the directory where this script lives (assuming repo is installed).

OPTIONS:

-w  Run git fsck and delete the refs that are missing
    from the repository's history. NB: This can be an
    expensive operation in some projects, specifically
    the Linux kernel repos.
