dropbox allows modifying files, git-annex freezes them upon creation,

so this would not be 100% equivalent to dropbox. --[[Joey]]

|

There is a `watch` branch in git that adds such a command, although currently
|
||||
it only handles adding new files, and nothing else. To make this really
|
||||
useful, it needs to:
|
||||
|
||||
- notice deleted files and stage the deletion
|
||||
(tricky; there's a race with add..)
|
||||
- notice renamed files, auto-fix the symlink, and stage the new file location
|
||||
- periodically auto-commit staged changes
|
||||
- honor .gitignore, not adding files it excludes
|
||||
|
||||
Also nice to have would be:
|
||||
|
||||
- Somehow sync remotes, possibly using a push sync like dvcs-autosync
|
||||
does, so they are immediately updated.
|
||||
- Somehow get content that is unavailable. This is problematic with inotify,
|
||||
since we only get an event once the user has tried (and failed) to read
|
||||
from the file. Perhaps instead, automatically copy content that is added
|
||||
out to remotes, with the goal of all repos eventually getting a copy,
|
||||
if df allows.
|
||||
- Drop files that have not been used lately, or meet some other criteria
|
||||
(as long as there's a copy elsewhere).
|
||||
- Perhaps automatically dropunused files that have been deleted,
|
||||
although I cannot see a way to do that, since by the time the inotify
|
||||
deletion event arrives, the file is deleted, and we cannot see what
|
||||
its symlink pointed to! Alternatively, perhaps automatically
|
||||
do an expensive unused/dropunused cleanup process.
|
||||
- Support OSes other than Linux; it only uses inotify currently.

This is a big project with its own [[design pages|design/assistant]].
