* unannex, uninit: Avoid committing after every file is unannexed, for massive speedup. * --notify-finish switch will cause desktop notifications after each file upload/download/drop completes (using the dbus Desktop Notifications Specification) * --notify-start switch will show desktop notifications when each file upload/download starts. * webapp: Automatically install Nautilus integration scripts to get and drop files. * tahoe: Pass -d parameter before subcommand; putting it after the subcommand no longer works with tahoe-lafs version 1.10. (Thanks, Alberto Berti) * forget --drop-dead: Avoid removing the dead remote from the trust.log, so that if git remotes for it still exist anywhere, git annex info will still know it's dead and not show it. * git-annex-shell: Make configlist automatically initialize a remote git repository, as long as a git-annex branch has been pushed to it, to simplify setup of remote git repositories, including via gitolite. * add --include-dotfiles: New option, perhaps useful for backups. * Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories, not including the datacenter and vault in their configuration. This bug is fixed, but glacier repositories set up with the broken version of git-annex need to have the datacenter and vault set in order to be usable. This can be done using git annex enableremote to add the missing settings. For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_glacier/ * Added required content configuration. * assistant: Improve ssh authorized keys line generated in local pairing or for a remote ssh server to set environment variables in an alternative way that works with the non-POSIX fish shell, as well as POSIX shells. # imported from the archive

Suppose you have a USB thumb drive and are using it as a git annex
|
|
repository. You don't trust the drive, because you could lose it, or
|
|
accidentally run it through the laundry. Or, maybe you have a drive that
|
|
you know is dying, and you'd like to be warned if there are any files
|
|
on it not backed up somewhere else. Maybe the drive has already died
|
|
or been lost.
|
|
|
|
You can let git-annex know that you don't trust a repository, and it will
|
|
adjust its behavior to avoid relying on that repositories's continued
|
|
availability.
|
|
|
|
# git annex untrust usbdrive
|
|
untrust usbdrive ok
|
|
|
|
Now when you do a fsck, you'll be warned appropriately:
|
|
|
|
# git annex fsck .
|
|
fsck my_big_file
|
|
Only these untrusted locations may have copies of this file!
|
|
05e296c4-2989-11e0-bf40-bad1535567fe -- portable USB drive
|
|
Back it up to trusted locations with git-annex copy.
|
|
failed
|
|
|
|
Also, git-annex will refuse to drop a file from elsewhere just because
|
|
it can see a copy on the untrusted repository.
|
|
|
|
It's also possible to tell git-annex that you have an unusually high
|
|
level of trust for a repository. See [[trust]] for details.
