* better doc for --json-error-messagesGravatar Joey Hess2018-02-19
| | | | Word so warnings can be included, not only errors.
* add --json-error-messages (not yet implemented)Gravatar Joey Hess2018-02-19
| | | | | | | | | | Added --json-error-messages option, which includes error messages in the json output, rather than outputting them to stderr. The actual rediretion of errors is not implemented yet, this is only the docs and option plumbing. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* metadata: Added --remove-all.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-09-28
| | | | | | | Motivation is to remove all metadata when it gets copied from a previous version of the file, and that is not deisrable. This commit was supported by the NSF-funded DataLad project.
* Added metadata --batch option, which allows getting, setting, deleting, and ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2016-07-27
| | | | modifying metadata for multiple files/keys.
* saner format for metadata --jsonGravatar Joey Hess2016-07-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | metadata --json output format has changed, adding a inner json object named "fields" which contains only the fields and their values. This should be easier to parse than the old format, which mixed up metadata fields with other keys in the json object. Any consumers of the old format will need to be updated. This adds a dependency on unordered-containers for parsing MetaData from JSON, but it's a free dependency; aeson pulls in that library.
* --branch, stage 1Gravatar Joey Hess2016-07-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added --branch option to copy, drop, fsck, get, metadata, mirror, move, and whereis commands. This option makes git-annex operate on files that are included in a specified branch (or other treeish). The names of the files from the branch that are being operated on are not displayed yet; only the keys. Displaying the filenames will need changes to every affected command. Also, note that --branch can be specified repeatedly. This is not really documented, but seemed worth supporting, especially since we may later want the ability to operate on all branches matching a refspec. However, when operating on two branches that contain the same key, that key will be operated on twice.

* expand manpages cross-references significantlyGravatar Antoine Beaupré2015-05-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | i found that most man pages only had references to the main git-annex manpage, which i stillfind pretty huge and hard to navigate through. i tried to sift through all the man pages and add cross-references between relevant pages. my general rule of thumb is that links should be both ways unless one of the pages is a more general page that would become ridiculously huge if all backlinks would be added (git-annex-preferred-content comes to mind). i have also make the links one per line as this is how it was done in the metadata pages so far. i did everything but the plumbing, utility and test commands, although some of those are linked from the other commands so cross-links were added there as well.
* both whereis and metadata accept --key, --all, and --unused; document thatGravatar Joey Hess2015-04-21
