You can run `git annex fix` in the submodule and it should correct the links. But then they'll point to the wrong location in the non-submodule clone of the repository. - -So, it seems you need to pick whether a given repository will be a submodule or not (and where it will be mounted in the parent repository if so), and stick with that choice. You can't have it both ways. - -I cannot imagine any change to git-annex that could change this limitation. Except perhaps using direct mode everywhere, in which case where the symlinks point internally doesn't really matter.. - -(<http://myrepos.branchable.com> might be a usable alternative to submodules for you, that does not have this problem.) -"""]] |
