Hi,
This might be a stupid question, but I did not find any information about it. Can I retrieve previous versions of a file? Let's say, I wanna do a "git annex get file", but considering a specific commit id. Is it possible? Are all the versions of the files kept inside .git/annex/objects?
Thanks!
To get to a specific version of a file, you need to have a tag or a branch that includes that version of the file. Check out the branch and
git annex get $file
.(Of course, even without a tag or branch, old file versions are retained, unless dropped with
unused
/dropunused
. So you could evengit checkout $COMMITID
.)
