Relevant commit is [[!commit f95a8c867223b2e17d036d0d3377bf0fc9d3adff]] You may well have an older version of git-annex that didn't do that. But there are probably also feeds that lack a useful guid, or that even make a change that changes the guid of an existing item. With `git annex metadata`, you can see the `itemid` which is where the guid is stored. PS, please post in [[todo]] when you have a request.. """]]
