* Enable Developer mode in Windows settings so that symlinks can be created without elevated privileges.
* Mount the NTFS drive with metadata option. [`/etc/wsl.conf`](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/wsl-config) can be used or a line such as `C: /mnt/c drvfs metadata` can be added in `/etc/fstab`.
* Initialize the repo.
* If the repository is created by cloning, create local git-annex branch from the remote branch and remove the origin remote before `git annex init`.
* Set `git config annex.crippledfilesystem true` immediately after `git annex init`.
* Add the origin remote back if it was previously removed.
* Follow these steps in order when creating a new repository.
* `git config annex.sshcaching false`
* `git annex init`
* git-annex should not detect the filesystem as crippled but now set `git config annex.crippledfilesystem true`
* Safety of locked files will require these settings and scripts and the patch below.
* `git config annex.freezecontent-command 'wsl-freezecontent %path'`
* `git config annex.thawcontent-command 'wsl-thawcontent %path'`

* Symlinks are invalid in Windows if created before the target file exists, such as after `git annex add` or `git annex get`. This can be fixed by recreating them with any method, such as delete them and `git checkout`.
* WSL1 will not create symlinks that work in Windows if created before the target file exists, such as after `git annex add` or `git annex get`. This can be fixed by recreating them with any method, such as delete them and `git checkout`.
