NAME

       git-annex-mincopies - configure minimum number of copies

SYNOPSIS

       git annex mincopies N

DESCRIPTION

       Tells  git-annex  how many copies it is required to preserve of files, over all repositories. The default
       is 1.

       Run without a number to get the current value.

       This configuration is stored in the git-annex branch, so it will be seen by all clones of the repository.
       It  can  be overridden on a per-file basis by the annex.mincopies setting in .gitattributes files, or can
       be overridden temporarily with the --mincopies option.

       This supplements the git-annex-numcopies(1) setting.  In unusual situations,  involving  special  remotes
       that  do  not  support locking, and concurrent drops of the same content from multiple repositories, git-
       annex may violate the numcopies setting.  In these unusual situations, git-annex ensures that the  number
       of copies never goes below mincopies.
