NAME

rrr-dirtyupdate - add a file with an old timestamp to the dataset

SYNOPSIS

rrr-dirtyupdate [options] principalfile file [epoch]

rrr-dirtyupdate --force principalfile

OPTIONS

--delete

Inject a delete event. If the epoch argument is missing, find the according file event and set epoch to that epoch plus 1.

--force|f

Force this run even without any arguments. E.g. just for the side effect of running an aggregate call.

--help|h

Prints a brief message and exists.

--verbose|v+

More feedback.

DESCRIPTION

When you later discover missing files...

The principalfile argument is the path to local principal recentfile.

The file argument is a relative path calculated from the localroot directory of the recentfile object.

If the epoch argument is missing it is calculated from the modification time of the file.

BUGS

This is slow: it calls aggregate twice with force which took 2 x 10-20 seconds on PAUSE.
