I have two machines connected to my home network. machine A. Machine A has a git-annex repo which stores the data using a remote bup repo. The bup repo resides on Machine A itself. Now, I want to set up the same kind of environment in Machine B ( git annex repo backed down by bup remote). The only condition is that I need to re-use the bup repo in the machine A. So I went up like this:
git clone ssh://192.168.1.33/path/to/git-annex-repo-on-machine-a
This succeeded. The next step was to add a reference to the bup repo on machine A to this new git-annex repo in machine B. I went about like this:
git annex initremote mybup type=bup encryption=none buprepo=192.168.1.33:/path/to/bup-repo-on-machine-a
This seems to work OK, except the fact that the following shows up:
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/XXX/.bup/
Reinitialized existing Git repository in /Users/path/to/bup-repo-on-machine-a
*Q1*: Why does git-annex create bup repos on the local folder while initializaing a remote bup repo?
After that, I tried to get the file from the git repo using
git annex get <file> --from mybup
..And nothing happened. This is the debug output from the last command :
read: git ["--git-dir=/private/tmp/annexed-setups/.git","--work-tree=/private/tmp/annexed-setups","show-ref","git-annex"]
read: git ["--git-dir=/private/tmp/annexed-setups/.git","--work-tree=/private/tmp/annexed-setups","show-ref","--hash","refs/heads/git-annex"]

The file was not obtained from the remote. However, when I did
git annex fsck --from mybup
This resolved all the files properly and then when I did a
git annex list.
it showed all files to be reachable from the mybup repo.
*Q2* Is this the correct workflow?
*Q3* Do I need to do a [costly] fsck for bup remote to properly work over ssh?
