I don't want files that I dropped to immediately disappear from my local or all of my remotes repos on the next sync. Especially in situations where changes to the git-annex repo get automatically and immediately replicated to remote repos, I want a configurable "grace" period before files in .git/annex/objects get really deleted.

This has similarities to the "trash" on a desktop. It might also be nice to

* configure a maximum amount of space of the "trash"
* have a way to see the contents of the trash to easily recover deleted files
