Repo that contains the latest/current version of a file is not accessible.
|
|
Can git annex whereis find the last available version of a file in other
|
|
repos (or a specific repo)?
|
|
|
|
I can looping through commit log and running whereis for each commit until
|
|
an earlier version of a file is found, but perhaps there is a better way to
|
|
do it with a single command?
