+I have a use case in which a colleague wishes to have a working copy of my data repository to use with the current version of my model. When a new version of the model is available they would likewise update their git-annex clone of my data. The colleague wants to drop any files that have been made obsolete by this change, but I do not see an efficient way to make this determination. They could of course drop everything and then do git annex get . but that could be very expensive if only a small subset of the files have actually changed.
+
+I'm probably just missing something basic, as this seems to be a reasonably frequent use case.
