Repairing

The TMSU database records the state of the file at the time of tagging. If you subsequently rename, move, delete or modify a file then the details in the database will be wrong compared to what is actually in the file-system.

(TMSU does not automatically detect file changes at this time.)

File-System Status

The status subcommand can be used to compare the database with what is in the file-system. Running it without any arguments will show the status for all files in the database:

$ tmsu status
M /tmp/a
! /tmp/b

The output tells us that file /tmp/a was modified: the file has a different size or modification timestamp to when it was added to TMSU. /tmp/b is reported as missing
