+> (Sadly, it cannot create a symlink, as git still wants to write the file afterwards.
+> So the nice current behavior of unavailable files being clearly missing due to dangling symlinks, would be lost when using smudge/clean filters. (Contact git developers to get an interface to do this?)
+
+Have you checked what the smudge filter sees when the input is a symlink? Because git supports tracking symlinks, so it should also support pushing symlinks through a smudge filter, right?
+Either way: yes, contact the git devs, one can only ask and hope. And if you can demonstrate the awesomeness of git-annex they might get more 1interested :)
