glx migrate

Migrate an archive to the current format

Synopsis

Converts deprecated person properties (born_on, born_at, died_on, died_at, buried_on, buried_at) to birth/death/burial events.

For each person with deprecated properties:

• Creates a birth, death, or burial event if none exists
• Merges date/place into existing events if fields are empty
• Never overwrites existing event data
• Converts assertions to reference the event instead of the person property

With --rename-gender-to-sex, also renames the legacy gender person property (and any related assertions and inlined vocabulary entries) to sex, completing the two-field-model split introduced in #528.
