Well, +there are ways to check out git repositories that make +the .git directory not be in the usual place. For example, +when using submodules, git puts that directory in a different place. +And then the committed symlinks won't point to .git. So, +`git annex adjust --fix` is useful as a way to adjust the symlinks +locally, without committing any changes to them, in that kind of +situation. +"""]] |
