This sounds a lot like what i was trying to do in
|
|
[[todo/dumb, unsafe, human-readable_backend]], except done properly. :)
|
|
|
|
I was wondering about that asymmetry recentrly, and it would seem like
|
|
a good idea to fix this. the `--to remote` flag could especially be
|
|
useful for directory, rsync or even webdav remotes. i am not sure how
|
|
this could be implemented, but i would certainly use this.
|
|
|
|
having addurl work would be an awesome bonus, especially with webdav,
|
|
where the mapping can be easily guessed (like S3). could be trickier
|
|
with rsync/directory because then the user would need to tell
|
|
git-annex what the base url is somewhere, but would fix a ton of use
|
|
cases i had for this, like [[forum/original filename on s3]],
|
|
[[forum/Facilitate public pretty S3 URLs]], [[todo/hide_missing_files]]
|
|
and, my favorite, [[forum/syncing music to my android device]].
|
|
it would also automate, extend and simplify the
|
|
[[tips/publishing_your_files_to_the_public/]] use case.
|
|
|
|
so thanks for this effort, i think it's a great idea and i'm excited
|
|
to test this! -- [[anarcat]]
