# NAME
git-annex remotedaemon - detects when remotes have changed, and fetches from them
# SYNOPSIS
git annex remotedaemon
# DESCRIPTION
This plumbing-level command is used by the assistant to detect
when remotes have received git pushes, so the changes can be promptly
fetched and the local repository updated.
This is a better alternative to the [[git-annex-xmppgit]](1)
hack.
For the remotedaemon to work, the git remote must have
[[git-annex-shell]](1) installed, with notifychanges support.
The first version of git-annex-shell that supports it is 5.20140405.
It's normal for this process to be running when the assistant is running.
