@ -4,20 +4,18 @@ will want to drop `archive/bar`, but `git annex get --auto` will want to get
`foo`. `git annex sync --content` will do both operations, getting and then
dropping the key. Running these commands repeatedly churns unncessarily.
In the preferred content expressions for standard groups, the only
place this bug can be triggered involves archive directories of
repositories in the client group. A file both in the archive directory and
in another directory has indeterminite status.
Fixing this needs a map from key to files using it. Then, when checking
preferred content of `archive/bar`, it can see that `foo` also uses the
key. Since `foo` is wanted, it should not drop the key, even though
`archive/bar` is not wanted.
Such a map exists, in the keys database, but only in v6 mode repositories.
So, this seems solvable in v6 repositories, but not in v5.
Such a map exists, in the keys database, but only in v7 mode repositories.
So, this seems solvable in v7 repositories, but not in v5.
Also, the associated files map may not be accurate at all times, so that's
a wrinkle to using it for this. --[[Joey]]

the same thing, with some suggestions for workarounds too.)
