* Add and use numcopiesneeded preferred content expression.Gravatar Joey Hess2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * Add numcopiesneeded preferred content expression. * Client, transfer, incremental backup, and archive repositories now want to get content that does not yet have enough copies. This means the asssistant will make copies of files that don't yet meet the configured numcopies, even to places that would not normally want the file. For example, if numcopies is 4, and there are 2 client repos and 2 transfer repos, and 2 removable backup drives, the file will be sent to both transfer repos in order to make 4 copies. Once a removable drive get a copy of the file, it will be dropped from one transfer repo or the other (but not both). Another example, numcopies is 3 and there is a client that has a backup removable drive and two small archive repos. Normally once one of the small archives has a file, it will not be put into the other one. But, to satisfy numcopies, the assistant will duplicate it into the other small archive too, if the backup repo is not available to receive the file. I notice that these examples are fairly unlikely setups .. the old behavior was not too bad, but it's nice to finally have it really correct. .. Almost. I have skipped checking the annex.numcopies .gitattributes out of fear it will be too slow. This commit was sponsored by Florian Schlegel.
* global numcopies settingGravatar Joey Hess2014-01-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | * numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all clones of a repository. * The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies git configs will be ignored. * assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies. This global numcopies setting is needed to let preferred content expressions operate on numcopies. It's also convenient, because typically if you want git-annex to preserve N copies of files in a repo, you want it to do that no matter which repo it's running in. Making it global avoids needing to warn the user about gotchas involving inconsistent annex.numcopies settings. (See changes to doc/numcopies.mdwn.) Added a new variety of git-annex branch log file, that holds only 1 value. Will probably be useful for other stuff later. This commit was sponsored by Nicolas Pouillard.

* pass -c option on to all git commands runGravatar Joey Hess2013-11-05
| | | | | | | | The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs. This was easy to plumb through because gitCommandLine is already used to construct every git command line, to add --git-dir and --work-tree

* add --want-get and --want-drop optionsGravatar Joey Hess2013-10-28
| | | | | New --want-get and --want-drop options which can be used to test preferred content settings. For example, "git annex find --in . --want-drop"
* Send a git-annex user-agent when downloading urls.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-09-28
| | | | | | | | | Overridable with --user-agent option. Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used -- nether allows a user-agent header to be specified. This commit sponsored by Michael Zehrer.
* mirror: New command, makes two repositories contain the same set of files.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-08-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a simple approach for setting up a mirroring repository. It will work with any type of remotes. Mirror --from is more expensive than mirror --to in general. OTOH, mirror --from will get the file from any remote that has it, not only the named mirror remote. And if the named mirror remote is not the fastest available remote with a file, that can speed things up. It would be possible to make the assistant or watch command do a more dynamic mirroring, that didn't need to scan every time.
