### Please describe the problem.
I have a file with a key which was missing yt: prefix, so I added it manually ``` $> git show git-annex commit 318da631abbd7562de52dd4e51fdcc6df01c3622 (git-annex) Author: Yaroslav Halchenko Date: Fri Mar 28 07:27:33 2025 -0400 [DATALAD RUNCMD] Manually trying to fixup one URL so it uses yt-dlp refs: - https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/tries_to_download_a_.mkv_video_without_yt-dlp/ - https://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/yt-dlp__58___parse__47__handle___40__error__41_____34__Video_unavailable__34__/ note that key also does not have yt: prefix as those which would be going through yt: but I think this is irrelevant here for our purposes. Just something to remember to not rely on Note: it was not actually "datalad run" committed due to https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git-annex_should_not___34__annex__34___in_git-annex_branch/?updated I just reused the record etc === Do not change lines below === { "chain": [], "cmd": "sed -i -e 's,^[0-9]*s\\(.*\\)https:,1743156234s\\1yt:https:,g' 'e9f/464/URL-s955950--https&c%%www.youtube.com%watch,63v,61hWwtFQLntbE.log.web'", "exit": 0, "extra_inputs": [], "inputs": [], "outputs": [], "pwd": "." } ^^^ Do not change lines above ^^^ diff --git a/e9f/464/URL-s955950--https&c%%www.youtube.com%watch,63v,61hWwtFQLntbE.log.web b/e9f/464/URL-s955950--https&c%%www.youtube.com%watch,63v,61hWwtFQLntbE.log.web index 331362218..e63cffe5d 100644 --- a/e9f/464/URL-s955950--https&c%%www.youtube.com%watch,63v,61hWwtFQLntbE.log.web +++ b/e9f/464/URL-s955950--https&c%%www.youtube.com%watch,63v,61hWwtFQLntbE.log.web @@ -1 +1 @@ -1742983318s 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWwtFQLntbE +1743156234s 1 yt:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWwtFQLntbE ```
but then `git annex get` would still fail, since verification fails, likely due to the key also having size in it. So I had to migrate to URL backend without size, as the bible teaches us: ```shell $> git annex help migrate ... One use of this option is to convert URL keys that were added by git-annex addurl --fast to ones that would have been added if that command was run with the --relaxed option. Eg: git-annex migrate --remove-size --backend=URL somefile ``` but no luck -- nothing is done for that file/key: ```shell $> git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit.
