<p>The archive directory is a new feature, but yes, it does work. Just use the webapp to edit the configuration of a remote, put it into the "small archive" group, and the contents of archive directories will be sent to it.</p>
<p>This is a particular application of <a href="http://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/preferred_content/">preferred content</a> settings, which give you a large amount of control over which data end up where when using the assistant.</p>

<p>Very cool!</p>
<p>So not only is archive/ a magic subdirectory due to the "preferred content settings" for "client," but <em>every</em> subdirectory named "archive" similarly drops content when possible. That's awesome to know.</p>
<p>Also if I really wanted to manually manage all my content and still have git-annex assistant running, I could simply use "present" for my preferred content settings on my laptop, and it would respect my manual gets and drops.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
