Rather than dropping the content of files in the local repository,
this option can specifiy a remote from which the files'
contents should be removed.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-auto\fP"
Rather than trying to drop all specified files, drop only files that
are not preferred content of the repository.
See git-annex\-preferred\-content(1)
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-force\fP"
Use this option with care! It bypasses safety checks, and forces

the last repository that is storing their content. Data loss can
result from using this option.
