When using checksumming, the repos would be pretty screwed if someone would do that anyways. + +In other words, hardlinking the SHA-checksummed files in .git/annex/objects/ across repos and/or between e.g. a directory remote and a repo would sound a pretty safe and nice optimization to me. I am like the OP, deduplication that does not require brtfs would be a great git annex feature. +"""]] |
