On linux and mac in indirect mode, the git workflow is basically unchanged, and I really like the way git annex works. Unfortunately when I use git-annex on Windows, I have not found a good way to add things to git's tree. + +I've tried two things: + +``` +$ git annex proxy -- git add smallfile +``` + +This is slow because it has to copy things over to create a work tree + +``` +$ git config annex.largefiles="*.pdf or *.h5" +$ git annex add largefile.pdf +``` + +This doesn't seem to work as well as I'd like either. I'd like the equivalent of a ```git add``` command in direct mode. |
