.SH NAME
git-annex-remotedaemon \- detects when remotes have changed, and fetches from them
.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
git annex remotedaemon
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
This plumbing\-level command is used by the assistant to detect
when remotes have received git pushes, so the changes can be promptly
fetched and the local repository updated.
.PP
This is a better alternative to the git-annex\-xmppgit(1)
hack.
.PP
For the remotedaemon to work, the git remote must have
git-annex\-shell(1) installed, with notifychanges support.
The first version of git-annex\-shell that supports it is 5.20140405.
.PP
It's normal for this process to be running when the assistant is running.
