It seems to me this should at least be an option, but I am confused as to why `Remote.List.remoteList` doesn't list all remotes the same way `Remote.remote_list` does...

The way things stand, there is no way to list files on non-git remotes, even if they are added explicitely as a remote, if the remote is not actually reachable: the files are just marked as absent (even thought `whereis` actually finds them). i recommend showing all remotes regardless, either opt-in or opt-out using a flag. +> > +> > 3. having the `!` flag, at least, would be useful because it would allow users to intuitively grep for problematic files without having to learn extra syntax. same with + and having an explicit count. +> > +> > thanks. --[[anarcat]] |
