datalad-annex supports cloning from the web special remote,
using an url that contains the result of pushing to eg, a directory
special remote.
`datalad-annex::https://example.com?type=web&url={noquery}`
Supporting something like this in git-remote-annex would be good.
httpalso just worked, with one small issue to fix
2024-05-28 20:26:16 +00:00
The httpalso special remote already exists to handle this kind of thing.
In fact, it just works with git-remote-annex!
Eg, this url on my laptop is a directory special remote
accessed via the web server:
annex::13c2500f-a302-4331-9720-6ec43cb8da2b?encryption=none&exporttree=yes&type=httpalso&url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~joey%2Ftmp%2Fd
But, while fetching from a httpalso special remote works, and cloning
works, after cloning, fetching again fails:
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/newp2>git fetch origin
git-annex: no url configured for httpalso special remote
add config-uuid to annex:: url for --sameas remotes And use it to set annex-config-uuid in git config. This makes using the origin special remote work after cloning. Without the added Logs.Remote.configSet, instantiating the remote will look at the annex-config-uuid's config in the remote log, which will be empty, and so it will fail to find a special remote. The added deletion of files in the alternatejournaldir is just to make 100% sure they don't get committed to the git-annex branch. Now that they contain things that definitely should not be committed.
