+Sounds to me like it could be a messed up direct mode mapping file due to bugs in version 4.20130516. But I am not sure I follow your transcript; you don't seem to show how things looked when it went wrong. If it was the mapping, `git annex fsck` would correct the problem.

+That's not how special remotes work -- they have nothing to do with the symlinks in the work tree, which are managed by git (or git-annex in direct mode). They only store values for keys.

+I see the assistant spike up to around 150 mb when adding a lot of files, then drop back down once it finishes one batch (limited to around 5000 files) and moves on to the next. 
+
+You might need to file a bug report with some more details so I can reproduce the problem.

+How is that better than `rsync -a gitrepo cleandirectory`?
+
+Perhaps better related to the original problem of getting git-annex running on a Synology NAS, [[forum/new linux arm tarball build]].
