I'm having hard time supporting the following use case with git-annex:
|
|
|
|
* using git annex so that \"git annex sync --content\" import in batch pictures from a camera SD card
|
|
* destination of the import is a \"pictures/INCOMING\" subdir of a larger \"multimedia archive\" annex
|
|
* I do not want to have all the other folders of the annex (parent and siblings of pictures/INCOMING) present on the SD card
|
|
|
|
I wonder if adjusted branches might be a solution to this.
|
|
Do I get it right that \"unlocked\" is currently the only supported kind of adjustment?
|
|
|
|
If so, I'm not sure what would be needed to make the above use case feasible.
|
|
At first sight though, commits int the adjusted branch that \"mounts\" pictures/INCOMING/ are conceptually easy to translate to the main branch: the changes would be the same, only they'll have to be applied in a specific subtree.
|
|
They won't merge cleanly though.
|
|
|
|
Is this an interesting/worthwhile use case for adjusted branches, or am I looking into the wrong part of git-annex design?
|
|

Thanks for this amazing tool!
