To \"just to get the dataset and files to be processed, and then possibly even wipe it all out\", maybe you could just use the [[directory special remote|special_remotes/directory]]?
Which common file systems do not support hardlinking? It seems that [Windows does](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/fileio/hard-links-and-junctions).
To fix the problem that unlocking a file causes `git status` to report it as changed (\"typechange\"), maybe git-annex could [tell git to locally ignore the change](https://dev.to/nishina555/how-to-ignore-files-already-managed-with-git-locally-19oo)?
