You can use any normal git operations to move files around, or even
|
|
make copies or delete them.
|
|
|
|
Notice that, since annexed files are represented by symlinks,
|
|
the symlink will break when the file is moved into a subdirectory.
|
|
But, git-annex will fix this up for you when you commit --
|
|
it has a pre-commit hook that watches for and corrects broken symlinks.
|
|
|
|
(Note that if a repository is in direct mode, you can't run normal git
|
|
commands in it. Instead, just move the files using non-git commands, and
|
|
`git annex add` and `git annex sync`. This walkthrough does not make a
|
|
direct mode repository.)
