SYNOPSIS
--------
> ssh -p <port> <host> globalrefdb check PROJECT [--ref <ref name>] [--verbose]
+> ssh -p <port> <host> globalrefdb update-ref PROJECT REF-NAME NEW-VALUE
DESCRIPTION
-----------
+
+## Check
Verify if the local with the global refs for a project, reporting all differences
between the two SHA1s. The operation can operate on the individual ref passed as
a parameter.
+## Update-ref
+Update global-refdb in case we cannot automatically deduce which ref is
+the latest.
+This can happen if the global-refdb finds itself behind other nodes.

+Local-refdb utility
+==============================
+
+COMMANDS
+----
+`localrefdb count-refs` utility to count the number of refs per project and
+register a metric called `num_ref_per_project_<project name>`
+`localrefdb sha1-all-refs` utility to combine the SHA1s of all refs into a
+new SHA1 and produce a numeric representation of it.
+This will also register a metric called:
+`sha1_all_refs_per_project_<project name>`
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+> ssh -p <port> <host> localrefdb count-refs PROJECT [--verbose]
+> ssh -p <port> <host> localrefdb sha1-all-refs PROJECT [--verbose]
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+## Count-refs
+A metric generated by a count of all refs in a project except for the
+user-edit refs, as these are not usually replicated.
+
+## Sha1-all-refs
+A metric generated by combining all SHA1s in a project except for the
+user-edit refs, as these are not usually replicated.
+The SHA1 is then converted into a numerical value so that a metric can
+be registered.
+
+This can be useful to avoid scenarios where refs are different but their
+counts match.
+In this case, the numerical value provided by this metric will be different
+for each node hence highlighting a discrepancy.
+
+This command should be ideally executed during a readonly window,
+to avoid ongoing replication tasks affecting the result.
+
+ACCESS
+------
+Any user who has been granted the 'Administrate Server' capability.
+
+SCRIPTING
+---------
+This command is intended to be used in scripts.
+
+EXAMPLES
+--------
+Count refs in project
+
+> $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com localrefdb count-refs All-Users
+
+Update global-refdb's sha1
+
+> $ ssh -p 29418 review.example.com localrefdb sha1-all-refs All-Users
