My copy of *git-annex* refuses to sync all, namely when I try it I get the following error
$ git annex sync --content --all
git-annex: unrecognized option `--all'
Usage: git-annex sync [REMOTE ...] [option ...]
--content also transfer file contents
To see additional options common to all commands, run: git annex help options
This contradicts the advice on [preferred content](http://git-annex.branchable.com/preferred_content/) set out under **difference: unused**,
and I cannot see any other options in my man page that would address the lack of this option.
The problem I am trying to solve is that I wish to preserve all history on the backup drives. Namely, if I do the following
touch test-of-annex-backup.txt
git annex add test-of-annex-backup.txt
git commit --message='test: Create empty test-of-annex-backup.txt file'
git annex edit test-of-annex-backup.txt
echo "This line creates version 2 of this file" > test-of-annex-backup.txt
git annex add test-of-annex-backup.txt
git commit --message='test: Create version 2 of test-of-annex-backup.txt'
git annex sync --content --all
I expect to see 2 copies of `test-of-annex-backup.txt` be copied to each accessible annex repository in the `backup` group
I tried googling for `"git annex sync --content --all"`, but I only find pages telling me that this is what I should use, and none saying the option has been deprecated.
I am very confused, as this seems to me an almost stereotypical use of *git-annex*, and yet I cannot see how to do it
thanks
Andrew
