Would it be possible to add an `--inject` option to import? Say, for example, I have an annex on computer A which has a subset of files and a directory of files which are potentional duplicates of files in the annex. I would like to do something like this: mkdir ~/annex/import cd ~/annex/import git annex import --deduplicate --inject ~/directory/of/files This would do the same as `--deduplicate`, except if the file is not present in the annex, it would be injected. For example: Annex knows about A and B, A is present but B is not. $DIR contains A, B and C. A would be deleted from $DIR due to `--deduplicate`. B would be injected into the repo (making it present) due to `--inject`, then deleted from $DIR. C would be added to the annex, resulting in this $ ls ~/annex/import C > You seem to have described exactly what --deduplicate already does. > For example:
# mkdir x # cd x # l # git init Initialized empty Git repository in /home/joey/tmp/x/.git/ # git annex init init ok (Recording state in git...) # echo hello > foo # git annex add foo add foo ok (Recording state in git...) # mkdir ../src # echo hello > ../src/bar # echo new > ../src/baz # git annex import --deduplicate ../src import src/bar (duplicate) ok import src/baz ok (Recording state in git...) # ls foo@ src/ # ls ../src/ # ls src baz@> And, if you look at the documentation for --deduplicate, > this is what it says:
To only import files whose content has not been seen before by git-annex, use the --deduplicate option. Duplicate files will be deleted from the import loca‐ tion.> So, [[done]] I suppose... --[[Joey]]
