Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
git annex does everything I was looking for when I found it and then some. Thank you for creating and maintaining it!
Your git-annex version is from before --from-anywhere was implemented.
Also,
--from-anywhereneeds--to=remote, as documented on the man page. "here" is not a remote name, so--from-anywhere --to=herewill not work.A simpler way to do what you were trying to do, that does work is
git-annex copy --to=hereAn even simpler way to do exactly the same thing is
git-annex getSo, I don't see any point in trying to support
--from-anywhere --to=herewithgit-annex copy.
