Restore full history of compacted issue from git
Command definition
restore.mddescription: Restore full history of compacted issue from git argument-hint: "<issue-id>"
Restore full history of a compacted issue from git version control.
When an issue is compacted, the git commit hash is saved. This command:
1. Reads the compacted_at_commit from the database 2. Retrieves the full issue from Dolt history at that point 3. Displays the full issue history (description, events, etc.) 4. Returns to the current state
Usage
`bd restore bd-42`
This is **read-only** - it does not modify the database or git state.
Useful for:
- Reviewing old issues after compaction
- Recovering forgotten context
- Audit trails
- Historical research
Requires git repository with issue history.
