I too have issues with mixing direct and indirect mode repositories.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I have a regular, existing repository with ebooks, shared between various clones on proper :) filesystems; now I would need a copy of some of them on an ereader which only offers a FAT filesystem, so it has to be direct mode.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
mount $READER
|
||
|
|
cd $reader
|
||
|
|
git clone $REPO
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I get a directory full of small files, the way git manages links on FAT.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex init \"ebook reader\"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This detects the fact that it is working on a crippled filesystem, enables direct mode and disables ssh connection caching; up to now everything seems to be fine, but then
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex get $SOME_BOOK
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
seems to work, downloads the file somewhere, but when I try to open $SOME_BOOK it is still the fake link, and the file has been downloaded in its destination, as if the repo wasn't in direct mode.
