With FUSE I thought I could just do that transparently without requiring any per-project coding/setup. Similar use-case would be analysis of some large datasets, once again, without requiring pre-fetching them in entirety and/or piece-by-piece fetching. +Another possible additional usecase/mode could also be -- expose only available files under FUSE. If easy to \"trigger\" it would help to provide that \"lean\" view I was blurbing about (https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/25) although it would be quite a suboptimal workaround (since if directory is heavily loaded with broken links, it would take a while for FUSE handler to first traverse the tree anyways) +"""]] |
