This displays information from the history of the git-annex branch. Several
|
||||||
|
things can prevent that information being available to display. When
|
||||||
|
[[git-annex-dead]] and [[git-annex-forget]] are used, old historical
|
||||||
|
data gets cleared from the branch. When annex.private or
|
||||||
|
remote.name.annex-private is configured, git-annex does not write
|
||||||
|
information to the branch at all. And when annex.alwayscommit is set to
|
||||||
|
false, information may not have been committed to the branch yet.
