I've been trying to use git-annex with the following strategy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Download podcasts into the annex `gpodder-downloads`
|
||||||
|
* Check the podcasts into the annex using `git annex add`.
|
||||||
|
* Copy the podcasts over to my mp3 player in the annex `usb-ariaz`.
|
||||||
|
This is a FAT-formatted mp3 player, so I have been using a bare
|
||||||
|
repository.
|
||||||
|
* Move the podcasts to a different annex called `gpodder-on-usbdisk`
|
||||||
|
to indicate that they have been successfully put on the mp3 player.
|
||||||
|
* `chmod` the files on the mp3 player to `0600` so that I can delete
|
||||||
|
them from the player when I am done listening to them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then I go for a run or something and listen to a bunch of podcasts,
|
||||||
|
deleting them after I have listened to them. When I get back, I would
|
||||||
|
like to find the files that I have listened to and remove them from
|
||||||
|
the annexes that are not on the mp3 player. What I have been hoping
|
||||||
|
is that something like
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
~/gpodder-on-usbdisk $ git annex find --not --in usb-ariaz --print0 | xargs -0 git rm
|
||||||
|
~/gpodder-on-usbdisk $ git annex unused
|
||||||
|
~/gpodder-on-usbdisk $ git annex dropunused `seq X`
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
would work. However, it appears that `git-annex find` does not
|
||||||
|
actually check to see that the file contents are present, but only
|
||||||
|
looks at the `git-annex` branch of the `usb-ariaz` repository. Since
|
||||||
|
I have not changed that with my sneaky deletions, it has no way of
|
||||||
|
knowing that the files have been deleted.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Is there any way to do this properly? (And by properly, I don't mean
|
||||||
|
"don't delete the files". That is really the only way I have of
|
||||||
|
marking that I have listened to podcasts on this particular mp3 player.)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I tried setting the `usb-ariaz` repository to be untrusted, but that
|
||||||
|
did not change the behavior of `git annex find`.
