linux - Remove git-annex repository from file tree -


i tried installing git-annex yesterday backup files. ran git annex add . in root of repository tree , git commit. far fine.

what didn't know git-annex doing turning entire file tree whole bunch of symlinks. every single file in whole tree symlinked .git/annex/objects! messing application depends on files not being symlinks.

my question is, how rid of git-annex , restore file system original state? normal git repo rm -r .git, i'm afraid won't job in git-annex. in advance.

okay, stumbled upon docs git-annex, , give 2 commands achieve wanted do:

unannex [path ...]

use undo accidental git annex add command. can use git annex unannex move content out of annex @ point, if you've committed it. not command should use if intentionally annexed file , don't want contents more. in case should use git annex drop instead, , can git rm file.

uninit

use stop using git annex. unannex every file in repository, , remove of git-annex's other data, leaving git repository plus annexed files.

i started running git annex uninit, god slow. took 5 minutes "unannex" single file. filesystem tree 200,000 files, unacceptable.

what ended doing surprisingly simple , worked well. used cp -rl flags automatically duplicate contents of file tree , reverse symlinks in duplicate copy. , blazing fast: around 30 seconds entire file tree. problem file permissions not retained original state, needed run chmod , chcon commands fix permissions.

this second method worked me because there no other symlinks in schema. if have symlinks in schema beyond created git-annex, little shortcut isn't right choice you, , should consider sticking git annex uninit.
