Then git calls `git-annex smudge` on files, and +unfortunately the git smudge interface requires that git-annex output the +whole content of the file, to stdout, which git then writes to disk. + +So yes, this doesn't use reflinks, but it's worse than that, a better +interface would let git-annex simply move or hard-link the file into place, +even on filesystems not supporting reflinks. + +This is discussed in detail in [[todo/smudge]]. Unfortunately it will need +a better interface in git to be addressed, and that's why v6 is still an +experimental feature. +"""]] |
