Hi,

May I know, which processes git-annex is using to move/copy/get file content between repositories? Is it using same processes which git uses, Like send-pack, receive-pack. I want to use Aspera to move file contents between repositories. Is it enough if I customize send-pack, receive-pack of git code to do Aspera file transfer or git-annex uses any other transfer mechanism.

Many Thanks, Royal Pinto

Some other protocols such as S3 for special remotes.

Thanks, Is git annex is using same protocols as normal git to transfer content between normal git repositories?
git-annex doesn't transfer git content between git repositories. You use git for that. Well, git-annex sync can run a few git commands for you to do it.

Sorry if I am not clear. Actually i meant to ask, if i have 2 git repositories which are not special remotes and I am transferring annexed file content between these repositories using git annex command (move or copy) then, which protocol it uses to transfer content? Is it uses git-send-pack git-recieve-pack or some other protocols.
rsync over ssh is used to transfer file contents between repositories. (You can use the -d option to see the commands git-annex runs.)
