+I recently started to set up a share that would be synced between multiple machines. Since I control all of them I thought it might be cool to try using the suggested "shared encryption". This seems to have been a mistake.
+
+My project folder is now a big mess of symlinks to read-only files.
+
+I can fix this with a "cp -RH" and get my data back and I can muddle through fixing the permissions but this leads me to two conclusions:
+
+1. I did something wrong but I don't know what. Should I have created the ssh remote first and the local repo second?
+
+2. This feature should either be hidden or the UI should be much more explicit about how to use it properly. This cost me quite a bit of time and frustration.
+
+I really like git-annex so I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.
