Hi Joey,
|
|
|
|
I really like git-annex but there is one thing which annoys me and friends of mine: Automatic repo upgrades.
|
|
|
|
I just installed the newer version as an unstable package from my distro[^1] for a test and noticed afterwards that git-annex v7[^2] doesn't work anymore.
|
|
|
|
This is something I would like to be warned about in advance; it's nothing I would expect. Imagine a repo shared between people. One of them gets a new version of git-annex installed by the system admin, thus converting the repo accidentally, without even noticing. The others will be happy.
|
|
|
|
So please document `annex.autoupgraderepository` in the man page and set it to `false` by default.
|
|
|
|
Stay happy and healthy,
|
|
|
|
Johannes
