Sounds like an interesting data-gathering application, I have to say
I'm curious what it is. ;)
If Repo1 is configured like this:
git-annex group here source
git annex wanted here standard
Then it should want to drop the contents of files from Repo1 once it knows
they have reached any other repository. (Sometimes people put a repository
in a group but forget to set wanted to "standard" ...)
Looks like Repo1 cannot make outgoing connections to Repo2?
So, you need to run the assistant on Repo2 and probably on Repo1.
Then it works like this:
1. The assistant on Repo1 will commit files as they're put in the repository.
2. The assistant on Repo2 will notice changes to Repo1, pull down the
files, see that Repo1 is configured as a source repository, and drop
the files from Repo1.
3. The assistant on Repo1 will also notice when it's sent a file to Repo2
and can drop it from Repo1 then -- but this may take a while for it to
notice and #2 will probably happen first.
Note that if you get the files added and committed by some other process,
you don't really need to run the assistant on Repo1.
The USB drives need to be client, so that once content reaches one of them,
the content will be dropped from the transfer repositories. The way that
part should work:
1. Content reaches Repo2.
2. The assistant in Repo3 notices the change to Repo2, pulls down
the files.
3. The assistant in Repo3 pushes the files to a connected USB drive.
4. The assistant in Repo3 drops content from itself and Repo2, since
it knows both are transfer repos and the content has reached a client
(USB).
If you're having trouble getting any of this to work, I recommend
running `git annex sync --content` manually while testing it, and make sure
it does what you would expect to happen at each step.
