-git-annex comes with some standard preferred content expressions, that can
-be used with repositories that are in some pre-defined groups. To make a
-repository use one of these, just set its preferred content expression
-to "standard", and put it in one of these groups.
-
-(Note that most of these standard expressions also make the repository
-prefer any content that is only currently available on untrusted and

-### transfer
-
-Use for repositories that are used to transfer data between other
-repositories, but do not need to retain data themselves. For
-example, a repository on a server, or in the cloud, or a small

-
-The preferred content expression for these causes them to get and retain

-`git annex drop`, etc to manage content. Only content that is present
