Finally got the assistant to repair git repositories on removable drives,
|
||
|
|
or other local repos. Mostly this happens entirely automatically, whatever
|
||
|
|
data in the git repo on the drive has been corrupted can just be copied
|
||
|
|
to it from `~/annex/.git`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And, the assistant will launch a git fsck of such a repo whenever it fails
|
||
|
|
to sync with it, so the user does not even need to schedule periodic fscks.
|
||
|
|
Although it's still a good idea, since some git repository problems don't
|
||
|
|
prevent syncing from happening.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Watching git annex heal problems like this is quite cool!

One thing I had to defer till later is repairing corrupted gcrypt
|
||
|
|
repositories. I don't see a way to do it without deleting all the objects
|
||
|
|
in the gcrypt repository, and re-pushing everything. And even doing that
|
||
|
|
is tricky, since the `gcrypt-id` needs to stay the same.
