Some more work on the interface that lets remotes claim urls for git annex
addurl. Added support for remotes suggesting a filename to use when
adding an url. Also, added support for urls that result in multiple files
when downloaded. The obvious use case for that is an url to a torrent that
contains multiple files.
Then, got git annex importfeed to also check if a remote claims an url.
Finally, I put together a quick demo external remote using this new interface. git-annex-remote-torrent adds support for torrent files to git-annex, using aria2c to download them. It supports multi-file torrents, but not magnet links. (I'll probably rewrite this more robustly and efficiently in haskell sometime soon.)
Here's a demo:
# git annex initremote torrent type=external encryption=none externaltype=torrent
initremote torrent ok
(Recording state in git...)
# ls
# git annex addurl --fast file:///home/joey/my.torrent
