NAME

       git-annex-remotedaemon - detects when remotes have changed, and fetches from them

SYNOPSIS

       git annex remotedaemon

DESCRIPTION

       This  plumbing-level command is used by the assistant to detect when remotes have received
       git pushes, so the changes can be promptly fetched and the local repository updated.

       This is a better alternative to the git-annex-xmppgit(1) hack.

       For the remotedaemon to work, the git remote must have git-annex-shell(1) installed,  with
       notifychanges  support.   The  first  version  of  git-annex-shell  that  supports  it  is
       5.20140405.

       It's normal for this process to be running when the assistant is running.
