Hi,
I just saw that my installed version of git-annex is too old for:
git-annex import --reinject-duplicates [...]
Thus, I downloaded the precompiled binary: git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz 2017-05-10 16:19 54M
First of all, it works fine with this version. However, the "--reinject-duplicates" option is not shown, when calling:
./git-annex help import ## in ~/git-annex.linux/
So, is the help page just outdated, or does git-annex help gets confused because I still have an older version of git-annex installed in the system?

Hello,
git-annex does a lot of convenient stuff, also locally. With git-annex sync [remote-name] the synchronization can be restricted to a single remote.
However, I think being able to restrict sync to no remote at all, only doing the local stuff, would be helpful.
The natural syntax for me would be git-annex sync here. But it says:
$ git-annex sync here
commit ok
git-annex: there is no available git remote named "here"
I think a workaround would be to do:
$ git-annex sync --no-push --no-pull
Is that correct?
Still, I think "git-annex sync here" would be a convenient shortcut.

In my analyses I often have multiple (>10k) generated small files in a single directory.
I would like to store this in git annex, in order to version them and probably even synchronize. The problem is that if a huge number of files is stored inside the repository, the repository itself becomes huge and slow. There are some ways to improve the performance ([[1|tips/Repositories_with_large_number_of_files]], [[2|forum/Handling_a_large_number_of_files]], [[3|forum/__34__git_annex_sync__34___synced_after_8_hours]]), but it doesn't solve the issue completely.
I was wondering if it is possible to force git annex to treat a single directory with multiple files as a single item? Probably with abandoning the checksum verification.
