more data in a repository. When a repository has a preferred content

expression configured using "balanced" or "sizebalanced", it will take the

A hard repository size limit has to be enforced in some other way,

eg by putting the repository on a partition of the desired size.

This command can then be used to tell git-annex about that size limit.

For example, if a git repository is on a 1 terabyte drive, and is the only
