Joey Hess cd6b62f35e --auto is no longer a global option; only get, drop, and copy accept it.
Not a behavior change unless you were passing it to a command that ignored it.

# NAME
git-annex drop - indicate content of files not currently wanted
# SYNOPSIS
git annex drop `[path ...]`
# DESCRIPTION
Drops the content of annexed files from this repository, when
possible.
git-annex will refuse to drop content if it cannot verify it is
safe to do so.
# OPTIONS
* `--from=remote`
Rather than dropping the content of files in the local repository,
this option can specifiy a remote from which the files'
contents should be removed.
* `--auto`
Rather than trying to drop all specified files, drop only files that
are not preferred content of the repository.
See [[git-annex-preferred-content]](1)
* `--force`
Use this option with care! It bypasses safety checks, and forces
git-annex to delete the content of the specified files, even from
the last repository that is storing their content. Data loss can
result from using this option.
* file matching options
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
can be used to specify files to drop.
