NAME

       git-annex-oldkeys - list keys used for old versions of files

SYNOPSIS

       git annex oldkeys [path ...]

DESCRIPTION

       Lists keys used for old versions of the specified files or directories.

       The output from this command can be piped into a command like git-annex drop --batch-keys

       The keys are listed in order from newest to oldest.

       When  listing  old  keys  for a directory, it will include keys used by deleted files that
       were in that directory in past commits.

OPTIONS

       --unchecked

              By default this command does not list a key that is also used by any  file  in  the
              currently checked out branch. This option makes it also list such keys.

              The  default  behavior avoids surprises when dropping listed keys.  This option can
              be useful when eg copying all old versions of a file to a remote.

       --revision-range=value
              Only list old keys used in the specified range of revisions.  This works  the  same
              as  the  revision  range  option of git log.  See gitrevisions(7) for documentation
              about the format of this option.

              For   example,   to   list   only   keys   used   since   the   tag    v1.0,    use
              --revision-range=v1.0..HEAD

       Also the git-annex-common-options(1) can be used.
