#AUTOMATIC GIT ANNEX SYNC HOW TO#

The git annex manual on git annex adjust only tells me how to get an adjusted branch, but not how to reverse the adjusting. │ * git-annex adjusted branch (abandoned previous HEAD) * ┘ my new commit (master, refs/basis/adjusted/master(unlocked)) So how do I get from the situation above to the following: * git-annex adjusted branch (HEAD, adjusted/master(unlocked)) Finally, because I cannot have symlinks checked out at my file system, I need to automatically create a new adjusted branch that replaces the symlinks in the commit by the actual files.

What I want is a commit to the master branch that is in the standard git-annex format, meaning that annex'ed files are symlinks to their place in the annex store. When I commit now, I would do so on the adjusted branch I guess, because git-annex cannot create the symlinks, using git annex add MYFILE and git commit`: * my new commit (HEAD, adjusted/master(unlocked)) * ┘ some change (master, refs/basis/adjusted/master(unlocked)) My commit tree looks then like this: * git-annex adjusted branch (HEAD, adjusted/master(unlocked)) Thus, I have to work with an adjusted branch, that means that on top of my 'normal' branch I execute git annex adjust -unlock so that I get a new branch on which my annex'ed files are not symlinks into the annex store, but the original files.

I have a git and git annex project on a filesystem that does not suppport symlinks.
