I wish to preserve all history on the backup drives using standard groups and the `sync` command. Namely, if I do the following
touch test-of-annex-backup.txt
git annex add test-of-annex-backup.txt
git commit --message='test: Create empty test-of-annex-backup.txt file'
git annex edit test-of-annex-backup.txt
echo "This line creates version 2 of this file" > test-of-annex-backup.txt
git annex add test-of-annex-backup.txt
git commit --message='test: Create version 2 of test-of-annex-backup.txt'
git annex sync --content --all
I expect to see 2 copies of `test-of-annex-backup.txt` be copied to each accessible annex repository in the `backup` [standard group](http://git-annex.branchable.com/preferred_content/standard_groups/)
At present, the `backup` standard group prefers unused files, but the `sync` command cannot act on this configuration, since it lacks an `--all` option. This is surprising to me as a user, and appears to contradict the intent of the preferred content, as evinced by the awkward explanation of why it is there in [preferred content](http://git-annex.branchable.com/preferred_content/)
Please add an `--all` option to the `sync` command
Thanks
Andrew
