So, I think I should make a git-annex-webapp shim that's built that way and starts the real webapp. + +But, some work needs to be done, because when run this way, git-annex can't write to stdout or stderr, which it tries to do, and so crashes on startup. + +Also, when git-annex is built that way and tries to run git.. windows helpfully opens a command.exe to display any output git might have. So we get lots of flickering command.exe windows. +"""]]
