WARNING: WARNING:
This is a destructive operation. This is a destructive operation.
When you run `registry-garbage-collect` with the -m flag, garbage collection unlinks manifests that
are part of a multi-arch manifest, unless they're tagged in the same repository.
See [this issue](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/container-registry/-/issues/149) for details.
To work around this issue, instead of:
```plaintext
myrepo/multiarchmanifest:latest
myrepo/manifest/amd-64:latest
myrepo/manifest/arm:latest
```
Use:
```plaintext
myrepo/multiarchmanifest:latest
myrepo/manifest:amd-64-latest
myrepo/manifest:arm-latest
```
