Oops. Try:

-   (<= org-persist-remote-files remote-files-num))
+   (>= org-persist-remote-files remote-files-num))

Hi Ihor,

I had some trouble testing your patches, and the outcome is still unclear to
me: apparently (again, cannot be sure this is not caused by "improper"
application of the patches) the new version of org-persist, with default value
for o-p-remote-files (100), removes any remote file from the persistent index,
without even prompting for a password.

I will try again (and harder) as time permits.

ciao, lele.

Sigh, re-reading, I see one more glitch there: s/Keep note/Keep not/

I'm sorry, but real work swallowed all my day, and could not try this out yet.
Hopefully I will be able to do some test tomorrow morning.

I'd remove "last" above, since `check-existence' is not the last (described)
option anymore.

Now that you explained the meaning, maybe better to be explicit here,
mentioning "X remote files"?

Also, shouldn't the doc mention the meaning of the numberp, expecially since
that's the default?

Can you test the attached 2 patches? They do not seem to break local

I do not open remote Org files very often, but surely happens now and then,
typically from my laptop to see/edit something I keep on my desktop PC.

> Maybe we should better make this a user option?

Yes, that's what I had in mind: when (say) org-persist-do-not-auto-gc-remotes
is enabled, the cleanup procedure would ignore remote Org documents and a new
explicit (interactive) org-persist-gc-remotes would take care of them.

> Or we can go a different route and just not garbage collect remote files

Yes, a threshold would work too.
