git-annex/doc/todo/Recovering_from_a_bad_sync.mdwn
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).

Instead of using `sync origin` for the first sync and a simple `sync` for the other syncs,
# on pc1
git annex init "pc1"
git annex direct
git annex add .
git annex sync origin # remote specified on the first sync
# add some files
git annex add .
git annex sync
I used `sync` first and only later I used `sync origin`
# on pc1
git annex init "pc1"
git annex direct
git annex add .
git annex sync
# add some files
git annex add .
git annex sync origin # remote specified on a later sync
These sequences of commands create two completely different git histories.
More important, if one clones on pc2 the first repository, they will see both the pc1 remote and the pc2 remote. Instead, if one clones on pc2 the repository created by the second combination of commands, they will see only the pc2 remote.
What commands should I use on pc1 to fix the history so that when pc2 clones from the origin repository it will see both the pc1 remote and its own local remote?
