I think it would be useful to supplement the `reinject` command with an automatic
|
||
|
|
mode which calculates the checksum of the source file and injects the file if it
|
||
|
|
is known to the repository (without the need to provide a destination filename).
|
||
|
|
In addition, this could be done recursively if the user provides a directory to
|
||
|
|
inject. All this can probably be done already with some plumbing, but a simple
|
||
|
|
`reinject --auto` (or `scour`, or `scavenge`, if you like) would be a nice addition.
|
||
|
|
Of course this would only work for the checksum backends.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Example use cases would be:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Recovering data from lost+found easily
|
||
|
|
* Making use of old (pre-git-annex) archival volumes with useful files
|
||
|
|
scattered among non-useful files
|
||
|
|
* Sneaker-netting files between disconnected git-annex repositories
