6 "file content has changed" is a message from the directory special remote
7 when it sees that a file in the directory has a different mtime,size,inode
8 tuple (content identifier) than the one that was recorded when importing
11 Maybe that has something to do with the duplicate files, since they would
12 have different inodes. Except, it does try to support that; it can keep
13 track of multiple content identifiers for a key, and when there are
14 duplicate files, that works in my testing.
16 I notice that, if I have a directory special remote that was initially
17 set up with ignoreinodes=no, and I've imported a tree that way from it,
18 I can cause what looks like this problem:
20 joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/x>git-annex enableremote t directory=../x ignoreinodes=yes
22 (recording state in git...)
23 joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/x>git-annex get 3 --from t
25 file content has changed
27 Which seems like a bug that it allows changing it, but I think that the idea was
28 that, after changing ignoreinores, the user would re-run git-annex import,
29 which would re-import all the files since the content identifier has
30 changed. Still, I think that
31 [[!commit 3e2f1f73cbc5fc10475745b3c3133267bd1850a7]] didn't consider that
32 it could cause a get to fail.
34 I know you have recently upgraded from a version that defaulted
35 to ignoring inodes. Maybe you only need to re-run `git-annex import` from the
36 directory remote to fix the problem?
