-`--all` would make git-annex operate on either every key with content
-present (or in some cases like `get` and `copy --from` on
-every keys with content not present).
-
-This would be useful when a repository has a history with deleted files
-whose content you want to keep (so you're not using `dropunused`).
-Or when you have a lot of branches and just want to be able to fsck
-every file referenced in any branch (or indeed, any file referenced in any
-ref). It could also be useful (or even a
-good default) in a bare repository.
-
-A problem with the idea is that `.gitattributes` values for keys not
-currently in the tree would not be available (without horrific anounts of
-grubbing thru history to find where/when the key used to exist). So
-`numcopies` set via `.gitattributes` would not work. This would be a
-particular problem for `drop` and for `--auto`.

-> [[done]]. The .gitattributes problem was solved simply by not
-> supporting `drop --all`. `--auto` also cannot be mixed with --all for
-> similar reasons. --[[Joey]]
