Should git-annex unused work on a directory special remote? I tried the following:
$ git-annex unused --from SanDisk64GB4Torrented
unused SanDisk64GB4Torrented (checking for unused data...) ok
$
However, despite git-annex list --in SanDisk64GB4Torrented demonstrating that there were no annex files in it, the size of the directory was still large. And I can see a file in tmp/ of that annex's directory:
$ ls tmp/
SHA256E-s2351316992--bdfba5df0bd72cffdb398fe885d9e36d052617647c0ae4fd0579a8fc785c95ba.iso
$
Am I right to think that the file being present in tmp/ should cause git-annex unused to list it?
I'm assuming it's fine to just remove the file. But I guess this might be a bug... so I'm putting it out there just in case.
That file was created by a git-annex copy to the special remote that was interrupted before it finished. It's safe to remove it.
git-annex unusedcan't detect these kinds of things on special remotes (though it can in git-annex repositories). I do think it would be good if it were able to. Opened improve unused for special remotes.
