+That example I gave: 10 sec vs 1 sec is on a repository of pictures with about 6200 files on a SSD.
+
+Oh, I think I understand the source of the asymmetry, now! So, `git annex copy --to` queries the location log file by file? I've tested a `git grep` on the git-annex branch as follows
+
+```
+git grep -e <repo uuid> git-annex
+```
+
+and seems to be quite fast, less than a second on my test repo. Could git annex make use of this to speed up bulk queries to the location log?

+We're using git-annex to manage large files as part of a team.
+
+We have a central repository of large files that everyone grabs from.
+
+We would like to be able to get the files without updating the `git-annex` branch.  This way it doesn't pollute the history with essentially always unreachable locations.
+
+I think the easiest way would be to just add an option to not update the `git-annex` branch when `annex get` is executed.
+
+Thoughts?
