importtree=yes remotes are always untrusted. The reason is that
|
|
something else is assumed to be writing to those remotes, which is what
|
|
populates them with files. And that could delete or change any file at any
|
|
time. So if git-annex didn't untrust the remote, and relied on it to hold
|
|
the only copy of a file, such a change would cause data loss.
|
|
|
|
There would need to be a new config setting to add the concept of
|
|
guaranteed readonly importtree=yes remotes.
|
|
|
|
git-annex does not allow --numcopies to be set to 0 as that can cause data
|
|
loss.
