@ -6,20 +6,17 @@ special remote.
Supporting something like this in git-remote-annex would be good. Supporting something like this in git-remote-annex would be good.
While to the user this might be considered part of the web special remote, The httpalso special remote already exists to handle this kind of thing.
it would really be a separate download code path in git-remote-annex that
downloads from the urls.
datalad-annex assumes that the url uses the exporttree=yes layout. In fact, it just works with git-remote-annex!
If git-annex did the same, it would look in "$url/.git/annex/objects/".
But it could instead try both that and the regular hash directories
and use whichever it found.
How should the annex:: url look for this? It needs to contain the UUID of Eg, this url on my laptop is a directory special remote
the special remote (not the web special remote) because the MANIFEST key accessed via the web server:
includes the UUID. Perhaps "annex::https://example.com/?type=web&uuid=..."
or "annex::uuid?type=web&url=..." (in either case the inner url will need
to be URI-encoded)
What should be recorded in .git/config for such a remote? I suppose the annex::13c2500f-a302-4331-9720-6ec43cb8da2b?encryption=none&exporttree=yes&type=httpalso&url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%2F~joey%2Ftmp%2Fd
annex:: url and no annex-uuid. --[[Joey]]
But, while fetching from a httpalso special remote works, and cloning
works, after cloning, fetching again fails:
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/newp2>git fetch origin
git-annex: no url configured for httpalso special remote
