Added -z option to git-annex commands that use --batch, useful for supporting filenames containing newlines. It only controls input to --batch, the output will still be line delimited unless --json or etc is used to get some other output. While git often makes -z affect both input and output, I don't like trying them together, and making it affect output would have been a significant complication, and also git-annex output is generally not intended to be machine parsed, unless using --json or a format option. Commands that take pairs like "file key" still separate them with a space in --batch mode. All such commands take care to support filenames with spaces when parsing that, so there was no need to change it, and it would have needed significant changes to the batch machinery to separate tose with a null. To make fromkey and registerurl support -z, I had to give them a --batch option. The implicit batch mode they enter when not provided with input parameters does not support -z as that would have complicated option parsing. Seemed better to move these toward using the same --batch as everything else, though the implicit batch mode can still be used. This commit was sponsored by Ole-Morten Duesund on Patreon.

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex move - move content of files to/from another repository
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex move `[path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote|--to=here]`
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Moves the content of files from or to another remote.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--from=remote`
|
|
|
|
Move the content of files from the specified remote to the local repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--to=remote`
|
|
|
|
Move the content of files from the local repository to the specified remote.
|
|
|
|
* `--to=here`
|
|
|
|
Move the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--force`
|
|
|
|
Override numcopies and required content checking, and always remove
|
|
files from the source repository once the destination repository has a
|
|
copy.
|
|
|
|
Note that, even without this option, you can move the content of a file
|
|
from one repository to another when numcopies is not satisfied, as long
|
|
as the move does not result in there being fewer copies.
|
|
|
|
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
|
|
|
|
Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs
|
|
running at once. For example: `-J10`
|
|
|
|
* `--all` `-A`
|
|
|
|
Rather than specifying a filename or path to move, this option can be
|
|
used to move all available versions of all files.
|
|
|
|
This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--branch=ref`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.
|
|
|
|
* `--unused`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--failed`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.
|
|
|
|
* `--key=keyname`
|
|
|
|
Use this option to move a specified key.
|
|
|
|
* `--fast`
|
|
|
|
When moving content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if the remote
|
|
already has content. This can be faster, but might skip moving content
|
|
to the remote in some cases.
|
|
|
|
* file matching options
|
|
|
|
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
|
|
can be used to specify files to move.
|
|
|
|
* `--batch`
|
|
|
|
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to move
|
|
are read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is
|
|
displayed. If a file's content does not need to be moved,
|
|
or it does not match specified matching options, or it
|
|
is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.
|
|
|
|
Since the usual output while moving a file is verbose and not
|
|
machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination with
|
|
--batch.
|
|
|
|
* `-z`
|
|
|
|
Makes the `--batch` input be delimited by nulls instead of the usual
|
|
newlines.
|
|
|
|
* `--json`
|
|
|
|
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
|
|
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
|
|
|
|
* `--json-progress`
|
|
|
|
Include progress objects in JSON output.
|
|
|
|
* `--json-error-messages`
|
|
|
|
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
|
|
the json instead.
