+# NAME
+
+git-annex maxsize - configure maximum size of a repository
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+git annex maxsize repository size
+
+git annex maxsize here --auto
+
+git annex maxsize repository
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+This configures the maximum combined size of annexed files that can be
+stored in a repository. When run without a size or the --auto option,
+it displays the currently configured maxsize.
+
+The repository can be specified by git remote name or
+by uuid. For the current repository, use "here".
+
+The size can be specified using any units. For example "100 gigabytes" or
+"0.8 TB"
+
+This is advisory only, it does not prevent git-annex from trying to store
+more data than that in a repository. So use this to tell git-annex about
+hard repository size limits that are enforced in some other way.
+
+For example, if a git repository is on a 1 terabyte drive, and is the only
+thing stored on that drive, and `annex.diskreserve` is configured to 1
+gigabyte, then it would make sense to run
+`git-annex maxsize here "999 gigabytes"`.

have enough free space to hold them. So once a repository is full,
the remaining repositories will have any additional files balanced
amoung them. In order for this to work, you must use
- [[git-annex-size]](1) to specify the size of each repository in the
+ [[git-annex-maxsize]](1) to specify the size of each repository in the
group.
This usually avoids moving files between repositories of the group, even
