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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While to the user this might be considered part of the web special remote,
|
||
|
|
it would really be a separate download code path in git-remote-annex that
|
||
|
|
downloads from the urls.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
datalad-annex assumes that the url uses the exporttree=yes layout.
|
||
|
|
If git-annex did the same, it would look in "$url/.git/annex/objects/".
|
||
|
|
But it could instead try both that and the regular hash directories
|
||
|
|
and use whichever it found.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
How should the annex:: url look for this? The UUID is not really relevant
|
||
|
|
in this case, because the web only has a dummy single UUID. So
|
||
|
|
it would work to use "annex::https://example.com/?type=web"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What should be recorded in .git/config for such a remote? I suppose the
|
||
|
|
annex:: url and no annex-uuid. --[[Joey]]
