+Keep in mind that lots of small files may have significant overhead, so a warning that it's not possible to make sure there's enough space would make sense for certain corner cases. Actually finding out the exact overhead is beyond git-annex' scope and, given transparent compression etc, ability, but a warning, optionally with a \"do you want to continue\" prompt can't hurt.

+ subject="Use variable symlinks, relative to the repo's root ?"
+ date="2011-03-10T16:50:28Z"
+ content="""
+It all boils down to the fact that the path to a relative symlink's target is determined relative to the symlink itself.
+
+Now, if we define the symlink's target relative to the git repo's root (eg. using the $GIT_DIR environment variable, which can be a relative or absolute path itself), this unfortunately results in an absolute symlink, which would -for obvious reasons- only be usable locally:
+
+    user@host:~$ mkdir -p tmp/{.git/annex,somefolder}
+    user@host:~$ export GIT_DIR=~/tmp
+    user@host:~$ touch $GIT_DIR/.git/annex/realfile
+    user@host:~$ ln -s $GIT_DIR/.git/annex/realfile $GIT_DIR/somefolder/file
+    user@host:~$ ls -al $GIT_DIR/somefolder/
+    total 12
+    drwxr-x--- 2 user group 4096 2011-03-10 16:54 .
+    drwxr-x--- 4 user group 4096 2011-03-10 16:53 ..
+    lrwxrwxrwx 1 user group   33 2011-03-10 16:54 file -> /home/user/tmp/.git/annex/realfile
+    user@host:~$
+
+So, what we need is the ability to record the actual variable name (instead of it's value) in our symlinks.
+
+It *is* possible, using [variable/variant symlinks](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbolic_link#Variable_symbolic_links), yet I'm unsure as to whether or not this is available on Linux systems, and even if it is, it would introduce compatibility issues in multi-OS environments.
+
+Thoughts on this?

+thanks Joey,
+
+is it possible to run some git annex command that tells me, for a specific directory, which files are available in an other remote? (and which remote, and which filenames?)
+I guess I could run that, do my own policy thingie, and run `git annex get` for the files I want.
+
+For your podcast use case (and some of my use cases) don't you think git [annex] might actually be overkill?  For example your podcasts use case, what value does git annex give over a simple rsync/rm script?
+such a script wouldn't even need a data store to store its state, unlike git. it seems simpler and cleaner to me.
+
+for the mpd thing, check http://alip.github.com/mpdcron/ (bad project name, it's a plugin based \"event handler\")
+you should be able to write a simple plugin for mpdcron that does what you want (or even interface with mpd yourself from perl/python/.. to use its idle mode to get events)
+

+Can't you just use an underscore instead of a colon?
+
+Would it be feasible to split directories dynamically? I.e. start with SHA1_123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef012345678/SHA1_123456789abcdef0123456789abcdef012345678 and, at a certain cut-off point, switch to shorter directory names? This could even be done per subdirectory and based purely on a locally-configured number. Different annexes on different file systems or with different file subsets might even have different thresholds. This would ensure scale while not forcing you to segment from the start. Also, while segmenting with longer directory names means a flatter tree, segments longer than four characters might not make too much sense. Segmenting too often could lead to some directories becoming too populated, bringing us back to the dynamic segmentation.
+
+All of the above would make merging annexes by hand a _lot_ harder, but I don't know if this is a valid use case. And if all else fails, one could merge everything with the unsegemented directory names and start again from there.

+What is the potential time-frame for this change? As I am not using git-annex for production yet, I can see myself waiting to avoid any potential hassle.
+
+Supporting generic metadata seems like a great idea. Though if you are going this path, wouldn't it make sense to avoid metastore for mtime etc and support this natively without outside dependencies?
