Hello,
|
|
|
|
First of all, thanks to Joey for developing git-annex, good job!
|
|
|
|
I have a small feature request: when running git annex watch, new files are automatically added to the annex. It would be nice to let this depend on an attribute: add a file to annex if an attribute is set, otherwise do a regular git add.
|
|
|
|
My use-case is the following: I have a repository containing documents I'm working on (mostly LaTeX), which I'd like to be regular files in git (no annex), and a bunch of extra documentation (pdfs) and images, which I'd like to go to the annex. I currently set a git-attribute (addtoannex), and use a shell script to selectively add files to annex as follows:
|
|
|
|
Content of .gitattributes:
|
|
|
|
*.png addtoannex
|
|
*.jpg addtoannex
|
|
|
|
Snippet of add script:
|
|
|
|
git check-attr addtoannex "$FILE" | grep -q ": set$"
|
|
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
|
|
git annex add "$FILE"
|
|
else
|
|
git add "$FILE"
|
|
fi
|
|
|
|
It would be great if the watcher could honour an attribute.
|
|
|
|
best regards,
|
|
|
|
Tom
