* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all clones of a repository. * The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies git configs will be ignored. * assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies. This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content expressions operate on numcopies. It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings. (See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.) Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value. Will probably be useful for other stuff later. This commit was sponsored by Nicolas Pouillard.

Before dropping a file, git-annex wants to be able to look at other
|
|
remotes, and verify that they still have a file. After all, it could
|
|
have been dropped from them too. If the remotes are not mounted/available,
|
|
you'll see something like this.
|
|
|
|
# git annex drop important_file other.iso
|
|
drop important_file (unsafe)
|
|
Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copies
|
|
Unable to access these remotes: usbdrive
|
|
Try making some of these repositories available:
|
|
58d84e8a-d9ae-11df-a1aa-ab9aa8c00826 -- portable USB drive
|
|
ca20064c-dbb5-11df-b2fe-002170d25c55 -- backup SATA drive
|
|
(Use --force to override this check, or adjust numcopies.)
|
|
failed
|
|
drop other.iso (unsafe)
|
|
Could only verify the existence of 0 out of 1 necessary copies
|
|
No other repository is known to contain the file.
|
|
(Use --force to override this check, or adjust numcopies.)
|
|
failed
|
|
|
|
Here you might --force it to drop `important_file` if you [[trust]] your backup.
|
|
But `other.iso` looks to have never been copied to anywhere else, so if
|
|
it's something you want to hold onto, you'd need to transfer it to
|
|
some other repository before dropping it.
