SYNOPSIS
git annex numcopies N
DESCRIPTION
Tells git-annex how many copies it should preserve of files, over all repositories. The default is 1.Run without a number to get the current value.
When git-annex is asked to drop a file, it first verifies that the required number of copies can be satisfied among all the other repositories that have a copy of the file.
This can be overridden on a per-file basis by the annex.numcopies setting in .gitattributes files.
