Hi All,
I managed to answer my questions above about copying changes between local bup repositories efficiently.
You run the following commands
git annex copy . --to bup_repo_1 # Uses bup split in the background (slow)
rsync -av /mnt/repodisk1/repo/ /mnt/repodisk2/repo/ \
--exclude=config --exclude=*.bloom --exclude=*.midx # rsync without bup-specific indices (speed depends on delta between repositories)
BUP_DIR=/mnt/repodisk2/repo/ bup midx -a && bup bloom # rebuild bup-specific indices on the target (this is extremely fast)
git annex copy . --to bup_repo_2 # Records file is now available in repo2 (also extremely fast)
Now `git annex whereis` will show the correct location and `git annex get <file> --from bup_repo_2` will work.
So far in my testing I haven't found any problems...
