For example `git annex +unlock *` will unlock only annexed files and not complain about any other +files; `git annex unlock .` will recursively unlock only annexed files and not +complain about non-annexed files or files that are already unlocked. + +In your example, git-annex has no way to tell that the file has been +renamed; a file that has never been added to git would look the same +to it as that renamed file. +"""]] |
