But that also disables sync, right? ;-) So, if I add a file manually (via command line) that file is not synced automatically, correct? I do not see any other 'pause' button next to the repository. I am fine with git-annex doing the syncing automatically for me, but I want to be in control over the files git annex actually uses. If I just downloaded a big file, I might want to check it first before having git-annex move it to other repositories. """]]
