Please describe the problem.
I have a directory remote with importtree=yes. In that remote, I have some symlinks that are broken. (Long story; this is a file server and they work on the system that has mounted them, but are broken here.)
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I've added it with git config remote.source.annex-tracking-branch main:$REPO. When I run git annex sync, I get:
commit
On branch adjusted/main(unlocked)
nothing to commit, working tree clean
ok
list source
git-annex: Unable to list contents of source: [redacted]: getFileStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
failed
git-annex: sync: 1 failed
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
8.20210223-2 on Debian
Please provide any additional information below.
I would like git-annex to either:
- Store the symlink as a symlink, or
- Ignore bad symlinks
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)
Loading in other parts of my photo collection as we speak!
fixed, by ignoring the broken symlink. (There is a todo about importing symlinks, import symlinks when importing from directory)--Joey
