by the annex.mincopies setting in .gitattributes files, or can be
overridden temporarily with the --mincopies option.
When git-annex is asked to drop a file, it first verifies that the
number of copies can be satisfied among all the other
repositories that have a copy of the file.
This supplements the [[git-annex-numcopies]](1) setting.
In unusual situations, involving special remotes that do not support
locking, and concurrent drops of the same content from multiple
repositories, git-annex may violate the numcopies setting.
In these unusual situations, git-annex ensures that
the mincopies setting is not violated.
In these unusual situations, git-annex ensures that the number of copies
never goes below mincopies.
