-What steps will reproduce the problem?
-------------------------------------------------------
-
-I haven't tried doing this again, but here's what I did:
-
-I was copying files to my usb drive (hugex) with probably this command:
-
- git annex copy --to=hugex .
-
-While doing that, I did something stupid in another window, and filled my local hard drive (the one I was copying from) and git annex spit out some errors about not being able to write to log files (because my local drive was full.)
-
-I suspended (^Z) git annex, made some hard drive space, then resumed (fg).
-
-At first, git annex whereis didn't see the copies of some of the files in hugex (apparently the ones where git annex had trouble writing the local log files). After a "git remote update hugex" and I think a ``git annex merge``, whereis was able to see both copies.
-
-But git drop can't see both copies, and won't let me drop my local copy. I ran ``git annex fsck .`` on the directory with the now files I was copying above, and that didn't seem to change anything (or report errors.)
-
-Here's a terminal session where I'm showing the problem and some hopefully useful text:
-
- compy compy compy ~/video/tv/keen-eddie> git annex whereis 02-horse-heir.avi
- whereis 02-horse-heir.avi (2 copies)
- 5bfe091c-ed07-11df-842e-eb791a485889 -- here (compy)
- e15161ec-f1bf-11df-a7b5-eb1f0e6921ee -- hugex
- ok
- compy compy compy ~/video/tv/keen-eddie> git annex drop 02-horse-heir.avi
- drop 02-horse-heir.avi (unsafe)
- Could only verify the existence of 1 out of 2 necessary copies
-
- No other repository is known to contain the file.
-
- (Use --force to override this check, or adjust annex.numcopies.)
- failed
- git-annex: drop: 1 failed
- zsh: exit 1 git annex drop 02-horse-heir.avi

-
-That last command is showing that the file is indeed in hugex's annex/objects
-
-
-Oh, and another wrinkle. hugex is a bare repo. I tried to fsck hugex's video/tv directory, but it said that directory doesn't exist (I assume because there's no working copy.)
-
-
-What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-I'd like ``git annex drop`` to have the same kind of confidence in the copies of these files on hugex.
-
-How can I resolve this. I tried ``git annex copy --to=hugex .`` again, but that command knows that these files are already copied to hugex.
-
-What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
-
-3.20130102 on debian unstable (thanks for packaging!)
-
-Please provide any additional information below.

-> [[done]]; the confusing message has been improved.
->
-> BTW, you can use `git annex move` to ensure a file is on another repo and
-> drop it locally. --[[Joey]]
