However, when transferring a directory of files, this will end up with 1 commit per file on the git-annex branch, which may be a problem. + +Is there any easy way to make this \"atomic\", so that git-annex will only get a commit if everything went okay and if not, revert any changes to $target? Am I looking at 'git stash', recording the master/git-annex references before the move and resetting to them in case of an error or rebasing(fixup) git-annex on success? +"""]] |
