pub const HISTORY_LONG: &str = "Which pass deleted what. `devp stats` counts the passes and adds up the bytes; this lists them, newest first, and `--pass 1` opens one up: when it ran, whether someone typed it or the scheduler started it, the exact command with its flags, and every directory it removed grouped under the repository it came from.
The list is one line per pass on purpose. A pass across forty repositories has hundreds of directories in it, so the detail is asked for by number rather than printed by default, and `--export` writes the whole log to a file for the times when the answer really is all of it. Redirect or pipe `--pass N` and nothing is elided — only a terminal gets a cap, because only a terminal has a scrollback to lose it in.
Per-directory detail is recorded from 1.17.0 onward. Passes older than that are still listed, from the totals the registry has always kept, and marked so an upgraded machine does not look like it lost them.
Read-only. It reads the log and the registry and writes nothing, except the file `--export` is asked for.";
