I am just beginning to use git-annex so it is possible that the following issue was caused by my own mishap. It cropped after commiting a number of file renames.
When files are locked, I am able to view their contents. However, when I unlock certain files, their contents appear to be replaced by the contents of the symlink. Locking them again allows me to view their contents. For instance, with one unlocked file, say `test.md`, I get
```
$ cat test.md
/annex/objects/SHA256E-s535--d37feb3390801b601a9cee77f6467f01aaabbb293149d20d75df26172a3594fd.md
```
Some files still behave as expected.
My git-annex repo is in my Linux home folder on an ext4 partition so handling symlinks should not be an issue.
I did have a look at [this discussion](https://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/git_annex_file_content_replaced_with_symlink_content/) but none of the solutions there seemed to do the trick.
Any help is much appreciated.
