+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+I am unable to create a minimal setup to reproduce this unfortunately. But my case is the following:
+
+* Two synced repos, I have switched between direct and indirect in both, currently they are indirect
+* I have two submodules in the repos (not related to the unuesd files)
+
+* I used "git rm -r" to remove a bunch of files along with "git mv" to move some
+* I have three commits of actions like this
+
+* In one repo, the one where I did the deletions, I have 172 unused files, and all seem to come from the first of the three commits
+* In the second repo, to which I synced, I have 188 unused files, which includes a couple of files from the third commit as well
+
+* If I try to dropunused either a single file or the whole range of the files, from either repo, I get git-annex telling me "ok, recording state" but when I run unused again the files are still there. And looking into .git/objects/annex/ the file is still present
+
+This is the debug from the drop command:

+Hello,
+
+First of all, thanks to Joey for developing git-annex, good job!
+
+I have a small feature request: when running git annex watch, new files are automatically added to the annex. It would be nice to let this depend on an attribute: add a file to annex if an attribute is set, otherwise do a regular git add.
+
+My use-case is the following: I have a repository containing documents I'm working on (mostly LaTeX), which I'd like to be regular files in git (no annex), and a bunch of extra documentation (pdfs) and images, which I'd like to go to the annex. I currently set a git-attribute (addtoannex), and use a shell script to selectively add files to annex as follows:
+
+Content of .gitattributes:
+
+    *.png addtoannex
+    *.jpg addtoannex
+
+Snippet of add script:
+
+    git check-attr addtoannex "$FILE" | grep -q ": set$"
+    if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
+        git annex add "$FILE"
+    else
+        git add "$FILE"
+    fi
+
+It would be great if the watcher could honour an attribute.
+
+best regards,
+
+Tom

+Hello,
+
+I'm not sure about the differences and interactions between watch / assistant / webapp / direct mode. I think I figured the following out, can someone confirm this, and perhaps a few words to the documentation / man page?
+
+- git annex watch uses inotify to find new files, and runs git annex add on them (it does not do regular git add)
+- git annex assistant does the same as watch, but also runs git annex sync for each new file (does it also enable direct mode?)
+- git annex webapp does the same as assistant, and also starts a webapp (in my case it immediately started sending files to origin, without asking for confirmation, which was surprising, I guess this is because I have * annex.numcopies=2 set, and there was only one copy. Still I interpreted the documentation as if it would only show me an interface, not start doing things right away.)
+
+Do these commands do anything else than what I described above?
+
+best regards,
+Tom
