I had a short vacation and jury duty that kept me from responding immediately. + +The symlink approach suggested by @Lukey appears to work quite well from my limited testing this far. The git-worktree approach unfortunately required additional write permissions (as noted by @Joey) in the primary repository, and is thus not our preferred approach. + +As far as the performance consequences to the symlink option, my tests thus far did not show any obvious performance consequences related to multi-filesystem involvement. Certainly my test repo (~100 files of 50 MB each) seemed to perform quite well, so a real test may effectively require deploying the full data set in this manner. + +I had previously tried @Joey's suggestion of symlinking just .git/annex rather than .git/annex/objects. My recollection is that I got error messages, but will test again shortly. + +"""]]
