Everything else works fine until now. git-annex doesn't have any problem, that only a part of the symlinks are present, which is really great. Is there a possibility to sparse checkout the .git-annex directory also? Perhaps splitting the log files in .git-annex/ into N subfolders, corresponding to the toplevel subfolders, like this? -* Before: - $ ls .git-annex - 00 01 02.... -* After: - $ ls .git-annex - documents/ music/ videos/ - $ ls .git-annex/documents - 00 01 02.... +Before: + + $ ls .git-annex + 00 01 02.... + +After: + + $ ls .git-annex + documents/ music/ videos/ + $ ls .git-annex/documents + 00 01 02.... This would make it possible to checkout only the part of the log files which i'm interested in.
