* bug when annexing files in a subdir of a git repo * how to handle git mv file? * query remotes for their annex.name settings, or figure out a different solution to nameing problem? - querying network remotes all the time will be slow. local caching in .git/config? - having a git annex name and a git remote name that are distinct will be confusing - but git remote names are repo-local, I want a global name - really, I don't want a name at all, I want a per-repo UUID So, each repo has a UUID, stored in annex.uuid. And also, the last seen UUID for each remote is listed: remote.origin.annex-uuid=d3d2474c-d5c3-11df-80a9-002170d25c55 Then when it need to find a repo by UUID, it can see if a known remote has it -- and then query the remote to confirm the repo there still has that UUID (a different repo may have been mounted there). Failing that, it can force a refresh of all uuids, updating .git/config, and check again. - Only downside for this is that if I put a repo on a usb disk, and it is disconnected and I have no remote for it, git-annex will have to say: "You asked for a file that is only present on a git repo with UUID d3d2474c-d5c3-11df-80a9-002170d25c55 -- and I don't know where it is." To solve that, let .git-annex/uuid.map map between uuids and descriptions, like "d3d2474c-d5c3-11df-80a9-002170d25c55 SATA drive labeled '* arch-2'" * hook up LocationLog * --push/--pull/--get/--want/--drop * finish BackendUrl and BackendChecksum
