Joey Hess e213ef310f git-annex (5.20140717) unstable; urgency=high
* Fix minor FD leak in journal code. Closes: #754608
  * direct: Fix handling of case where a work tree subdirectory cannot
    be written to due to permissions.
  * migrate: Avoid re-checksumming when migrating from hashE to hash backend.
  * uninit: Avoid failing final removal in some direct mode repositories
    due to file modes.
  * S3: Deal with AWS ACL configurations that do not allow creating or
    checking the location of a bucket, but only reading and writing content to
    it.
  * resolvemerge: New plumbing command that runs the automatic merge conflict
    resolver.
  * Deal with change in git 2.0 that made indirect mode merge conflict
    resolution leave behind old files.
  * sync: Fix git sync with local git remotes even when they don't have an
    annex.uuid set. (The assistant already did so.)
  * Set gcrypt-publish-participants when setting up a gcrypt repository,
    to avoid unncessary passphrase prompts.
    This is a security/usability tradeoff. To avoid exposing the gpg key
    ids who can decrypt the repository, users can unset
    gcrypt-publish-participants.
  * Install nautilus hooks even when ~/.local/share/nautilus/ does not yet
    exist, since it is not automatically created for Gnome 3 users.
  * Windows: Move .vbs files out of git\bin, to avoid that being in the
    PATH, which caused some weird breakage. (Thanks, divB)
  * Windows: Fix locking issue that prevented the webapp starting
    (since 5.20140707).

I'm doing something perhaps unreasonable and weird, and I'm wondering if there's a better way.
I'm running a wget -mbc of a particular web site. It replicates down to a tree.
Then I'm ingesting the content into git annex via the normal 'git annex add' sequence.
Later, when I'm going to update my replica of the website, I am running a 'git annex unlock' on the whole tree (90 gig in this case), and then running the 'wget -mbc ; git annex add' command sequence again.
Is there any mechanism to convince git-annex to scan the file, and ingest (copy) it into objects if it is new content, while leaving the original files unlocked? This would give me the ability to avoid the 'git annex unlock' copy operation, which is lengthy.
I'm aware this is inherently space inefficient.
I'm sure there's some other problem with this idea that I'm missing.
Thanks.
