[[!toc ]]
## end-user view
What the end user sees is a directory, with a .git subdirectory,
and 10 thousand little files (actually, they're broken symlinks, on
Linux/OSX). Over time, some of the symlinks start filling in with
"random" content from the IA.
The user can look at that content, or even delete files they don't want to
host.
The user can control how much total disk space the directory takes up.
## sharding to scale
The IA contains some 24 million Items.
