Currently, `dropkey` needs `--force` to do anything (and it's always needed that), so it could do numcopies checking when not forced, without breaking backwards compatability. The benefit of keeping this in `dropkey` is that dropping by key tends to work better with batch adds/imports of files that are occurring at the same time. Only downside I see is that dropping by key is unable to honor .gitattributes numcopies settings, since the associated filename is not known. """]]
