I came across this while developing my [`thunar-plugins`](https://pypi.org/project/thunar-plugins/1.0.0/) Python package for git-annex integration in XFCE's Thunar file manager. It is easily [worked around there by resolving all links before handing them to git-annex](https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/thunar-plugins/-/blob/de5d273106b79a5f397962c2fb3124943bdd03f7/thunar_plugins/menus/git_annex.py#L133-144). However having git-annex handle this situation natively would be nice, e.g. by also first resolving paths it gets handed.
One motivation for such relative symlinks to directories somewhere in the repository is to make **shortcuts** to some deeply nested folders.
Links to *files* (not directories) get converted to links to the annex, so not a problem there.
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Yes, `git-annex` is absolutely awesome, 🎉 'finding' it was one of my highlights of 2022 😉!
