@ -56,7 +56,15 @@ A very few commands don't work in direct mode, and will refuse to do anything.
Direct mode also works well with the git-annex assistant.
You can use `git commit --staged`, or plain `git commit`.
The most important command to use in a direct mode repository is `git annex
sync`. This will commit any files you have run `git annex add` on, as well
as files that were added earlier and have been modified. It will push
the changes to other repositories for `git annex sync` there to pick up,
and will pull and merge any changes made on other repositories into the
local repository.
While you generally will just use `git annex sync`, if you want to,
you can use `git commit --staged`, or plain `git commit`.
But not `git commit -a`, or `git commit <file>` ..
that'd commit whole large files into git!
