`git annex fix` fixes up the symlinks before they're committed.
|
||
|
|
It's run by the pre-commit hook, so even when annexed files are
|
||
|
|
manually moved around, the symlinks that get committed are always
|
||
|
|
right.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So then, if the symlinks committed are always right,
|
||
|
|
how would `git annex adjust --fix` be useful? Well,
|
||
|
|
there are ways to check out git repositories that make
|
||
|
|
the .git directory not be in the usual place. For example,
|
||
|
|
when using submodules, git puts that directory in a different place.
|
||
|
|
And then the committed symlinks won't point to .git. So,
|
||
|
|
`git annex adjust --fix` is useful as a way to adjust the symlinks
|
||
|
|
locally, without committing any changes to them, in that kind of
|
||
|
|
situation.
