git-annex is seriously cool, however I havent figured out an important detail: in the short presentation Richard Hartmann mentions the Nomad use case and says "... next time Im online I would like to have file x y z ... " How can this be achieved exactly? If I do a git annex copy/get then it will want to do it instantly, not queuing it. thanks a lot! Aron
What I do for this is maintain a
todo
directory andcp -a
+git annex add
files I want to download into this directory. thecp -a
maintains the symlinks andgit annex add
fixes them if needed.Also this works the same way if the situation is reversed and the machine you want to download the files onto is not online. You can add files to the
todo
directory on the server, then once the client machine is online do agit annex sync
+git annex get todo
.
