`git annex move` does not honor numcopies. It is the only git-annex command to not honor numcopies by default. This can be surprising, and it complicates git-annex's story about attempting to preserve numcopies since there's this exception on the side. Also, `git annex move --to untrusted-repo` drops the local copy even if the untrusted copy is the only remaining copy, which is another unique thing about move. Should `git annex move --safe` become the default, and `git annex move --unsafe` be needed to get the current behavior? (Note that the `-u` short option makes that easy enough to type for those of us who have workflows using the current behavior.) Such a change would break workflows, and potentially quite a lot of examples in the documentation might need to be updated. Although with the default numcopies=1, the move behavior would not change (except when moving onto an untrusted repository, ), which will limit the imact some. There could be a transition period where move warns when run w/o --safe/--unsafe. --[[Joey]] > [[done]], using the "don't make it worse" approach. --[[Joey]]
