I've added a back pointer comment to that bug pointing at this one, as they're clearly related discussion (and it wasn't obvious the other \"sync\" bug was at all related to the change). + +I still strongly disagree with changing \"sync\" to do something pretty different from what it's done for 10 years being a good idea. But would certainly support there being *another* command that did a \"Dropbox like full sync\". + +(Personally I'd really really prefer that \"sync\" stayed doing the same thing it's done for a decade: meta data sync, only. If we're going to have to run a new different command just to retain core \"meta data sync\" behaviour, I guess \"git annex sync --no-content\" is not much worse than any other command we'd have to remember to suddenly use instead starting version N + 1.) + +Ewen +"""]] -- 2.30.2
