Your hook will prevent +it getting into a commit, so the repository will eventually garbage collect +the copy away, but this can take some time or manual work to do. + +Recent versions of `git-annex add` will look at the annex.largefiles +configuration and if the file does not match, add it to git directly. +So that's an alternate workflow, where you `git annex add` files and let +git-annex decide whether to put them in the annex or the git repository. +"""]] |
