@ -17,6 +17,15 @@ This two-level structure is used because it allows the write bit to be removed
|
|||
from the subdirectories as well as from the files. That prevents accidentially
|
||||
deleting or changing the file contents.
|
||||
|
||||
In [[direct_mode]], file contents are not stored in here, and instead
|
||||
are stored directly in the file. However, the same symlinks are still
|
||||
committed to git, internally.
|
||||
|
||||
Also in [[direct_mode]], some additional data is stored in these directories.
|
||||
`.cache` files contain cached file stats used in detecting when a file has
|
||||
changed, and `.map` files contain a list of file(s) in the work directory
|
||||
that contain the key.
