Ideally, it would look similar to this. And yes, I put "put" in there ;) non-annex % git annex status git annex status: error: not a git annex repository annex % git annex status annex object storage version: A annex backend engine: {WORM,SHA512,...} Estimated local annex size: B MiB Estimated total annex size: C MiB Files without file size information in local annex: D Files without file size information in total annex: E Last fsck: datetime Last git pull: datetime - $annex_name Last git push: datetime - $annex_name Last git annex get: datetime - $annex_name Last git annex put: datetime - $annex_name annex % Datetime could be ISO's YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ss or, personal preference, YYYY-MM-DD--hh-mm-ss. I prefer the latter as it's DNS-, tag- and filename-safe which is why I am using it for everything. In a perfect world, ISO would standardize YYYY-MM-DD-T-hh-mm-ss-Z[-SSSSSSSS][--$timezone], but meh.
