When a file is annexed, a key is generated from its content and/or metadata.
The file checked into git symlinks to the key. This key can later be used

@Ilya, indeed, this page is talking about filesystem metadata.

There is not currently a way to switch backend based on file size,
although you can use annex.largefiles to make it check eg smaller files
directly into git rather than annexing them.
