Several times now I've done something like:
$ git annex unlock movie.avi
$ mv /tmp/fixed.avi movie.avi
$ git annex lock movie.avi
Oops, I just lost my fixed.avi! That really feels like the right sequence of operations to me, so I'm always surprised when I make that mistake. I would like to see the current lock
renamed to something like undo-unlock
, or have the behavior changed to be the same as add
, or maybe warn and require a --force
when the file has been changed.
If changing current behavior is undesirable, maybe unlock
could just print a reminder that git annex add
is the correct next step after making changes?
Failing that, I suppose I could slowly start to learn from my mistakes.
