The same way that [[git-annex-import]] has a `--duplicate` option,
|
|
there should be a way to reinject content without dropping the
|
|
original file.
|
|
|
|
My use case is that I had imported content in the wrong git-annex
|
|
repository, by mistake. Unaware of my mistake, I moved the files (now
|
|
symlinks) to the proper git-annex repo, where I added them and where
|
|
they (obviously) were broken. So I tried to fix that with reinject:
|
|
|
|
$ git annex reinject --known ~/mp3/.git/annex/objects/xJ/K5/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac
|
|
reinject /home/anarcat/mp3/.git/annex/objects/xJ/K5/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac

|
(recording state in git...)
|
|
git-annex: reinject: 1 failed
|
|
|
|
It *almost* worked but failed because it cannot rename the git-annex
|
|
file on the other side. But worse, copying the file by hand does not
|
|
work either:
|
|
|
|
$ LANG=C cp ~/mp3/.git/annex/objects/xJ/K5/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac ../../../.git/annex/objects/xJ/K5/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac/SHA256E-s16309242--41eb375ac760bf8542bae1ec2bcfce9269f78302820bcc88904e76bab473181c.flac

... obviously because the directory already exists and is not
|
|
writable. The workaround is to create those directories if missing
|
|
(`mkdir -p`) or change the mode if present (`chmod u+w`), then run
|
|
`git-annex-fsck` which will fix those modes.
|
|
|
|
Other than making reinject work against a fellow git-annex repository,
|
|
I think this would be useful to avoid deleting files which might
|
|
surprise users... I suggest using a logic similar to
|
|
[[git-annex-import]] for consistency reasons.
