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.
