.PP
.SH SYNOPSIS
git annex drop \fB[path ...]\fP
.PP
.SH DESCRIPTION
Drops the content of annexed files from this repository, when
possible.
.PP
git-annex will refuse to drop content if it cannot verify it is
safe to do so.
.PP
.SH OPTIONS
.IP "\fB\-\-from=remote\fP"
.IP
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
git-annex to delete the content of the specified files, even from
the last repository that is storing their content. Data loss can
result from using this option.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-all\fP"
Rather than specifying a filename or path to drop, this option can be
used to drop all available versions of all files.
.IP
This is the default behavior when running git-annex drop in a bare repository.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-unused\fP"
Drop files found by last run of git-annex unused.
.IP
.IP "\fB\-\-key=keyname\fP"
Use this option to drop a specified key.
.IP
.IP "file matching options"
The git-annex\-matching\-options(1)
can be used to specify files to drop.
