I have a collection of music CDs ripped in FLAC formats. At the same time I convert all these files to MP3 files to that I can use them in various other devices and to save space. + +The problem is that if I `git annex drop` the FLAC files once they are converted and copied, they leave broken symlinks around; this result in various annoying error messages in almost all the music playback I tried. At the same time, if I `rm` or `git rm` these symlinks, the content of these files will be removed also from the remotes as they are signalled as no longer wanted. + +Couldn't git-annex keep a separate index of files that have been removed but are meant to be kept? |
