I'm having trouble with this where the different remotes have the same URL but different UUIDs. My situation is a repository on a USB drive that can be plugged into one of two machines and used to transport large files between them. On each machine there is a local repository in a consistent location, so I can rely on paths to things in the repos being consistent across machines. Each repo obviously has a different UUID. The USB repo has remotes for local filesystem access and remotes for over-the-network access as a convenience - something like this:
[remote \"host1\"]
url = /m/stuff
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/host1/*
annex-uuid = ce6175ba-4a0d-49e6-88b1-615dac7a37c1
[remote \"host1-net\"]
url = ssh://host1.network/m/stuff
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/host1/*
annex-uuid = ce6175ba-4a0d-49e6-88b1-615dac7a37c1
[remote \"host2\"]
url = /m/stuff
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/host2/*
annex-uuid = f7e3fbe8-f7f5-4231-a885-a72a46680d0b
[remote \"host2-net\"]
url = ssh://host2.network/m/stuff
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/host2/*
annex-uuid = f7e3fbe8-f7f5-4231-a885-a72a46680d0b
The over-the-network path is useful for keeping everything in sync, but it doesn't have enough bandwidth to sensibly sync the content as well.
If I run 'git annex sync' in this repository while it's attached to host1 I'd hope it would sync with host1 and host2-net, as those are the URLs through which the two repositories can be reached. What actually happens is that it syncs with all of the repositories and updates the annex-uuid of remote 'host2' to be the UUID of the host1 repository. It also obviously gets a bit confused because it updates the remote branches for host2 from host1.
Is there some way to configure it so that sync works with all repositories based on unique uuid values, rather than all remotes?
