Between the extra directories git annex creates, the extra files, and the .git/object directory, I ran out of inodes on a few occasions from the profusion of small files. In some cases, I worked around this by shunting data around, or adding incrementally and then 'git gc'ing a lot to at least have a small .git/objects dir. A packed metadata would help to deal with this. +"""]] |
