What happens to its UUID in various logs? Maybe introduce a specific discard log which tries to get rid of all data concerning those UUIDs? -* What happens when you switch a repo from untracked to tracked? Simply generate (reactivate?) a UUID and switch all local occurences of `00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002` to the new UUID? - -`git annex drop --from publicrepo` is not allowed to take local copies into account to satisfy `numcopies`, simple as that. -IMO, this is the only valid approach, as that mirrors the global view from all other repos. -For all intents and purposes, an untracked repo does not exist. - - -The complement, a read-only repo, would also be very useful. -Such a repo would hold data, but it would never accept location data of anywhere besides itself and the web remote. - - -Richard -"""]] |
