This includes checking when dropping files that any required content configuration is satisfied. However, it does not yet include an active check on the required content; the location log is trusted when checking the required content expression.

We have preferred content, which is advisory, and numcopies, which is
|
|
enforced (except by `git annex move`). What is missing is an expression
|
|
like preferred content, which is enforced. So, required content.
|
|
|
|
For example, I might want a repository that is required to contain
|
|
`*.jpeg`. This would make get --auto get it (it's implicitly part of the
|
|
preferred content), and would make drop refuse to drop it.
