The ideas in that comment won't work, and here's why:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If git-annex does not maintain a hardlink in .git/annex/objects,
|
||
|
|
then when you run git checkout and it replaces the working tree file
|
||
|
|
with some other version, or deletes it, it's deleted the only copy
|
||
|
|
of the annex object that is stored on your disk. So you lose data.
