details, and sometimes we like to dive in and tweak things by hand. Here's
some documentation to that end.

This is where locally available file contents are actually stored.
Files added to the annex get a symlink checked into git that points
to the file content.
First there are two levels of directories used for hashing, to prevent
too many things ending up in any one directory.
Each subdirectory has the name of a key in one of the
[[key-value_backends|backends]]. The file inside also has the name of the key.
This two-level structure is used because it allows the write bit to be removed

The remainder of the log files record [[location_tracking]] information
for file contents. The name of the key is the filename, and the content
for file contents. Again these are placed in two levels of subdirectories
for hashing. The name of the key is the filename, and the content
consists of a timestamp, either 1 (present) or 0 (not present), and
the UUID of the repository that has or lacks the file content.
