git-remote-annex will be a program that allows push/pull/clone of a git
|
|
repository to many types of git-annex special remote.
|
|
|
|
This is a redesign and reimplementation of git-remote-datalad-annex.
|
|
It will be a safer implementation, will support incremental pushes, and
|
|
will be available to users who don't use datalad.

This is implememented and working. Remaining todo list for it:
|
|
|
|
* git-annex sync doesn't pull/push to these remotes, and should.
|
|
|
|
* Cloning from an annex:: url with importtree=yes doesn't work
|
|
(with or without exporttree=yes). This is because the ContentIdentifier
|
|
db is not populated. It should be possible to work around this.
|
|
|
|
* It would be nice if git-annex could generate an annex:: url
|
|
for a special remote and show it to the user, eg when
|
|
they have set the shorthand "annex::" url, so they know the full url.
|
|
`git-annex info $remote` could also display it.
|
|
Currently, the user has to remember how the special remote was
|
|
configured and replicate it all in the url.
|
|
|
|
There are some difficulties to doing this, including that
|
|
RemoteConfig can have hidden fields that should be omitted.
|
|
|
|
* datalad-annex supports cloning from the web special remote,
|
|
using an url that contains the result of pushing to eg, a directory
|
|
special remote.
|
|
`datalad-annex::https://example.com?type=web&url={noquery}`
|
|
Supporting something like this would be good.
