+I don't know why git is repeatedly smudging the empty file.
+(I was able to reproduce it.)
+
+git-annex does not treat an empty file any differently than any other file.
+It seems that this is probably a bug in git.
+
+Note that v6 git repos are known to be innefficient due to git's smudge
+interface not being very good. This is why they are not yet used by
+default.
