When run with a path, `git annex import` moves files from somewhere outside
the git working copy, and adds them to the annex.
When run with a path, `git annex import` **moves** files from somewhere outside
the git working copy, and adds them to the annex. In contrast to importing
from a special directory remote, imported files are **deleted from the given path**.
This is a legacy interface. It is still supported, but please consider
switching to importing from a directory special remote instead, using the
interface documented above.

the entire directory is imported.
the entire directory is imported. Please note that the following instruction
will **delete all files from the source directory**.
git annex import /media/camera/DCIM/*
