# NAME
git-annex numcopies - configure desired number of copies
# SYNOPSIS
git annex numcopies `N`
# DESCRIPTION
Tells git-annex how many copies it should preserve of files, over all
repositories. The default is 1.
Run without a number to get the current value.
This configuration is stored in the git-annex branch, so it will be seen
by all clones of the repository.
When git-annex is asked to drop a file, it first verifies that the
required number of copies can be satisfied among all the other
repositories that have a copy of the file.
This can be overridden on a per-file basis by the annex.numcopies setting
in .gitattributes files.
