Hi all, i'm looking for the right command to move a git annex repo througt filesystem without breaking all the symlink and so and without changing the id of the repo. My current hard drive have become to small to store all what i have so i have bought a new on and have mounted it in a directory named shared, now i want to move all my repo (repo1 repo2 etc...) too shared can anyone give me the best move option to do that ?
best regards.
Can't you just
mvthe top-level directory? Symlinks are relative:Yeah, this is not really a problem. Do note that, when a git-annex repo is moved to a new drive, this does change some of the internal details that git-annex keeps track of (inode numbers). If the repository has unlocked files in it, this can make git-annex's handling of those a little slow at first, until it learns the new details.
