Remove the file from the git repository, and use `git annex unused; git annex dropunused` in the other repositories. > But I'd like to have git annex {rm|remove} $FILE to do the above in one step. This is not possible, git-annex does not require that all repositories are always reachable, or that the current repository even knows where all other repositories are. > It's also not clear to me, at which point the content of the file will be > removed on the remotes.
