thanks for responding...
I used git annex unannex because I tried using git annex uninit and it DELETED my entire multi TB ./.git/annex/objects, even though I only had a handful of symlinks on in that repo, I wanted to find another way to unannex files that wouldn't delete my technically \"unused\" data.
and git annex unannex was what I tried when git annex unlock would not hardlink the files via annex.thin=true. it was only with toying with the 2 commands and finally --fast that I was able to get it to hardlink the files
my end goal was to be able to remove my data reliably from git annex entirely without it purging the object store.
and now as I read about hardlinks=true or whatever I see that git annex doesn't really love to hardlink multiple files past 2 because then multiple, independent files being modified would corrupt the object store.
I just want this thing to be reliable at scale. I put all my data into it but the speed is killing me, so I want to be able to get it out or split off data types to secondary git annexes, while having some idea of what it's doing under the covers so I don't get surprised.
