When using "git annex addurl --file
" with an ftp url, the committed
file is deleted after dropping the contents with --force (because
git-annex can't determine if the ftp server contains a valid copy) and
executing "git annex get
". It's the "git annex get
" command that
deletes the file.
This does not happen when using an http url.
git clone https://gist.github.com/sunny256/24f6c29645efd0aab4d9
and execute the bash script runme
. There's more info in a long comment
there, plus various flags you can enable/disable to test under different
conditions.
Using the newest git-annex from https://downloads.kitenet.net/.git/ in directory git-annex/linux/current/, 5.20150420-gb0ebb23.
Have tested with versions way back to v5.20131221, they all behave the same.
Using Debian GNU/Linux 7.8 (wheezy) on x86_64 with brand new git 2.4.0.
