@ -38,6 +38,14 @@ This command can only be used in a v6 git-annex repository.
Unlock all annexed files in the adjusted branch. This allows
annexed files to be modified.
Normally, unlocking a file requires a copy to be made of its content,
so that its original content is preserved, while the copy can be modified.
To use less space, annex.thin can be set to true before running this
command; this makes a hard link to the content be made instead of a copy.
(When supported by the file system.) While this can save considerable
disk space, any modification made to a file will cause the old version of the
file to be lost from the local repository. So, enable annex.thin with care.
* `--fix`
Fix the symlinks to annexed files to point to the local git annex
