Tried disabling syncing from the ssh remote in the webapp; the assistant finished the last transfer from it and queued up a bunch of transfers from the USB remote instead. Turned assistant off completely; tried a \"git annex drop --auto\". (with the USB drive still plugged in.) Nothing dropped. Tried a \"git annex drop --in=here '*/archive/*'\" -- it dropped all the content from my archive directories. whew! """]]
