That seems unnecessary since +it probably does not have an earlier log saying it contained the content +that was hard linked into it, and perhaps could be improved in git-annex +to not record that unncessarily, but that's what it does currently. + +So I suggest running `git annex forget` after the dropunused or at some +later point. That will delete all traces of those log files from +the git-annex branch. +"""]] |
