# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
git annex rekey `[file key ...]`
|
|

# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This plumbing-level command is similar to migrate, but you specify
|
|
|
|
|
both the file, and the new key to use for it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Multiple pairs of file and key can be given in a single command line.

# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* `--force`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Allow rekeying of even files whose content is not currently available.
|
|
|
|
|
Use with caution.

|
|
|
* `--batch`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enables batch mode, in which lines are read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
|
Each line should contain the file, and the new key to use for that file,
|
|
|
|
|
separated by a single space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
added -z
Added -z option to git-annex commands that use --batch, useful for
supporting filenames containing newlines.
It only controls input to --batch, the output will still be line delimited
unless --json or etc is used to get some other output. While git often
makes -z affect both input and output, I don't like trying them together,
and making it affect output would have been a significant complication,
and also git-annex output is generally not intended to be machine parsed,
unless using --json or a format option.
Commands that take pairs like "file key" still separate them with a space
in --batch mode. All such commands take care to support filenames with
spaces when parsing that, so there was no need to change it, and it would
have needed significant changes to the batch machinery to separate tose
with a null.
To make fromkey and registerurl support -z, I had to give them a --batch
option. The implicit batch mode they enter when not provided with input
parameters does not support -z as that would have complicated option
parsing. Seemed better to move these toward using the same --batch as
everything else, though the implicit batch mode can still be used.

* `-z`
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Makes the `--batch` input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
|
|
|
|
|
newlines.
