When --batch is used with matching options like --in, --metadata, etc, only operate on the provided files when they match those options. Otherwise, a blank line is output in the batch protocol. Affected commands: find, add, whereis, drop, copy, move, get In the case of find, the documentation for --batch already said it honored the matching options. The docs for the rest didn't, but it makes sense to have them honor them. While this is a behavior change, why specify the matching options with --batch if you didn't want them to apply? Note that the batch output for all of the affected commands could already output a blank line in other cases, so batch users should already be prepared to deal with it. git-annex metadata didn't seem worth making support the matching options, since all it does is output metadata or set metadata, the use cases for using it in combination with the martching options seem small. Made it refuse to run when they're combined, leaving open the possibility for later support if a use case develops. This commit was sponsored by Brett Eisenberg on Patreon.

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex move - move content of files to/from another repository
|
|
|
|
# SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
git annex move `[path ...] [--from=remote|--to=remote|--to=here]`
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
Moves the content of files from or to another remote.
|
|
|
|
# OPTIONS
|
|
|
|
* `--from=remote`
|
|
|
|
Move the content of files from the specified remote to the local repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--to=remote`
|
|
|
|
Move the content of files from the local repository to the specified remote.
|
|
|
|
* `--to=here`
|
|
|
|
Move the content of files from all reachable remotes to the local
|
|
repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--force`
|
|
|
|
Override numcopies and required content checking, and always remove
|
|
files from the source repository once the destination repository has a
|
|
copy.
|
|
|
|
Note that, even without this option, you can move the content of a file
|
|
from one repository to another when numcopies is not satisfied, as long
|
|
as the move does not result in there being fewer copies.
|
|
|
|
* `--jobs=N` `-JN`
|
|
|
|
Enables parallel transfers with up to the specified number of jobs
|
|
running at once. For example: `-J10`
|
|
|
|
* `--all` `-A`
|
|
|
|
Rather than specifying a filename or path to move, this option can be
|
|
used to move all available versions of all files.
|
|
|
|
This is the default behavior when running git-annex in a bare repository.
|
|
|
|
* `--branch=ref`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files in the specified branch or treeish.
|
|
|
|
* `--unused`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files found by last run of git-annex unused.
|
|
|
|
* `--failed`
|
|
|
|
Operate on files that have recently failed to be transferred.
|
|
|
|
* `--key=keyname`
|
|
|
|
Use this option to move a specified key.
|
|
|
|
* `--fast`
|
|
|
|
When moving content to a remote, avoid a round trip to check if the remote
|
|
already has content. This can be faster, but might skip moving content
|
|
to the remote in some cases.
|
|
|
|
* file matching options
|
|
|
|
The [[git-annex-matching-options]](1)
|
|
can be used to specify files to move.
|
|
|
|
* `--batch`
|
|
|
|
Enables batch mode, in which lines containing names of files to move
|
|
are read from stdin.
|
|
|
|
As each specified file is processed, the usual progress output is
|
|
displayed. If a file's content does not need to be moved,
|
|
or it does not match specified matching options, or it
|
|
is not an annexed file, a blank line is output in response instead.
|
|
|
|
Since the usual output while moving a file is verbose and not
|
|
machine-parseable, you may want to use --json in combination with
|
|
--batch.
|
|
|
|
* `--json`
|
|
|
|
Enable JSON output. This is intended to be parsed by programs that use
|
|
git-annex. Each line of output is a JSON object.
|
|
|
|
* `--json-progress`
|
|
|
|
Include progress objects in JSON output.
|
|
|
|
* `--json-error-messages`
|
|
|
|
Messages that would normally be output to standard error are included in
|
|
the json instead.
