DESCRIPTION

Add content of an archive under git annex control.

This results in the files within archive (which should be under annex
control itself) added under annex referencing original archive via
custom special remotes mechanism

Example:

annex-repo$ datalad add-archive-content my_big_tarball.tar.gz

OPTIONS

archive archive file or a key (if --key specified). Constraints: value must be a string

--version show the program's version and license information -h, --help, --help-np show this help message. --help-np forcefully disables the use of a pager for displaying the help message -l LEVEL, --log-level LEVEL set logging verbosity level. Choose among critical, error, warning, info, debug. Also you can specify an integer <10 to provide even more debugging information -p {condor}, --pbs-runner {condor} execute command by scheduling it via available PBS. For settings, config file will be consulted --annex ANNEX annex instance to use. [Default: None] --add-archive-leading-dir flag to place extracted content under a directory which would correspond to archive name with suffix stripped. E.g. for archive EXAMPLE.ZIP its content will be extracted under a directory EXAMPLE/. [Default: False] --strip-leading-dirs flag to move all files directories up, from how they were stored in an archive, if that one contained a number (possibly more than 1 down) single leading directories. [Default: False] --leading-dirs-depth LEADING_DIRS_DEPTH maximal depth to strip leading directories to. If not specified (None), no limit. [Default: None] --leading-dirs-consider LEADING_DIRS_CONSIDER regular expression(s) for directories to consider to strip away. Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None] --use-current-dir flag to extract archive under the current directory, not the directory where archive is located. Note that it will be of no effect if --key is given. [Default: False] -d, --delete flag to delete original archive from the filesystem/git in current tree. Note that it will be of no effect if --key is given. [Default: False] --key flag to signal if provided archive is not actually a filename on its own but an annex key. [Default: False] -e EXCLUDE, --exclude EXCLUDE regular expressions for filenames which to exclude from being added to annex. Applied after --rename if that one is specified. For exact matching, use anchoring. Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None] -r RENAME, --rename RENAME regular expressions to rename files before being added under git. First letter defines how to split provided string into two parts: Python regular expression (with groups), and replacement string. Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None] --existing {fail,overwrite,archive-suffix,numeric-suffix} what operation to perform a file from archive tries to overwrite an existing file with the same name. 'fail' (default) leads to RuntimeError exception. 'overwrite' silently replaces existing file. 'archive-suffix' instructs to add a suffix (prefixed with a '-') matching archive name from which file gets extracted, and if that one present, 'numeric-suffix' is in effect in addition, when incremental numeric suffix (prefixed with a '.') is added until no name collision is longer detected. [Default: 'fail'] -o ANNEX_OPTIONS, --annex-options ANNEX_OPTIONS additional options to pass to git-annex. Constraints: value must be a string [Default: None] --copy flag to copy the content of the archive instead of moving. [Default: False] --no-commit flag to not commit upon completion. [Default: True] --allow-dirty flag that operating on a dirty repository (uncommitted or untracked content) is ok. [Default: False] --stats STATS ActivityStats instance for global tracking. [Default: None] --drop-after drop extracted files after adding to annex. [Default: False] --delete-after extract under a temporary directory, git-annex add, and delete after. To be used to "index" files within annex without actually creating corresponding files under git. Note that `annex dropunused` would later remove that load. [Default: False]
