+ date="2011-04-04T07:40:41Z"
+ content="""
+I'm using git-annex to keep my music in sync between all of my different machines. What I'd love to be able to do is to also keep it in sync with my iRiver player. Unfortunately, the firmware, Rockbox, doesn't support ext3, so I'm stuck with a FAT filesystem.
+
+I can see how the design of git-annex makes it rather difficult to get rid of the symlinks, so how about taking a different approach: something like a \"git annex export DEST\" which would take a destination (not a git remote) and rsync the content over to there as regular files.
+
+Maybe \"git annex sync DEST\" or \"git annex rsync DEST\" would be better names if we want to convey the idea that the destination will be made to look like the source repo, including performing the necessary deletions.

+Git does not need to be upgraded. Git-annex needs to be upgraded to git rev 616e6f8a840ef4d99632d12a2e7ea15c3cfb1805 or newer, on all machines.

+New encryption keys could be used for different directories/files/patterns/times/whatever. One could then encrypt this new key for the public keys of other people/machines and push them out along with the actual data. This would allow some level of access restriction or future revocation. git-annex would need to keep track of which files can be decrypted with which keys. I am undecided if that information needs to be encrypted or not.
+
+Encrypted object files should be checksummed in encrypted form so that it's possible to verify integrity without knowing any keys. Same goes for encrypted keys, etc.
+
+Chunking files in this context seems like needless overkill. This might make sense to store a DVD image on CDs or similar, at some point. But not for encryption, imo. Coming up with sane chunk sizes for all use cases is literally impossible and as you pointed out, correlation by the remote admin is trivial.

+I am running centralized git-annex exclusively.
+
+Similar to
+
+ git annex get
+
+I'd like to have a
+
+ git annex put
+
+which would put all files on the default remote(s).
+
+My main reason for not wanting to use copy --to is that I need to specify the remote's name in this case which makes writing a wrapper unnecessarily hard. Also, this would allow
+
+ mr push
+
+to do the right thing all by itself.

+> (Sadly, it cannot create a symlink, as git still wants to write the file afterwards.
+> So the nice current behavior of unavailable files being clearly missing due to dangling symlinks, would be lost when using smudge/clean filters. (Contact git developers to get an interface to do this?)
+
+Have you checked what the smudge filter sees when the input is a symlink? Because git supports tracking symlinks, so it should also support pushing symlinks through a smudge filter, right?
+Either way: yes, contact the git devs, one can only ask and hope. And if you can demonstrate the awesomeness of git-annex they might get more 1interested :)
