Setup: * fresh install of Debian Wheezy with git-annex 4.20130227 pulled in from unstable Steps: * clone existing repository and activate assistant * Have USB drive, U, with repository group `backup` and preferred content string `standard` Expected: * Assistant never ever tries to drop anything from U Actual: * Assistant immediately tries to drop files from U; fortunately I didn't have the USB drive plugged in * Changing the preferred content string of U to `present or include=*` stops the dropping, but this was never required before Additional information: * The files that the Assistant started trying to drop were, I believe, the first (alphabetically) files in my repository to contain non-ascii characters in their file names (some French accented letters) Thanks. > The non-ascii characters are the giveaway: For 1 version, git-annex used > a regex library that failed to ever match non-ascii characters. So it > thought backup repos, which match "*" with a regex, wanted no such files. > This is [[fixed|done]]. --[[Joey]]
