-I have the same use case as Asheesh but I want to be able to see which filenames point to the same objects and then decide which of the duplicates to drop myself. I think
-
- git annex drop --by-contents
-
-would be the wrong approach because how does git-annex know which ones to drop? There's too much potential for error.
-
-Instead it would be great to have something like
-
- git annex finddups
-
-While it's easy enough to knock up a bit of shell or Perl to achieve this, that relies on knowledge of the annex symlink structure, so I think really it belongs inside git-annex.
-
-If this command gave output similar to the excellent `fastdup` utility:
-
- Scanning for files... 672 files in 10.439 seconds
- Comparing 2 sets of files...
-
- 2 files (70.71 MB/ea)
- /home/adam/media/flat/tour/flat-tour.3gp
- /home/adam/videos/tour.3gp
-
- Found 1 duplicate of 1 file (70.71 MB wasted)
- Scanned 672 files (1.96 GB) in 11.415 seconds
-
-then you could do stuff like
-
- git annex finddups | grep /home/adam/media/flat | xargs rm
