Problems include: + +* git-annex often does not read a git repo's config before touching it, + so it doesn't know if the repo is bare or not + (reading the config when operating on ssh repos would be a pain and SLOW; + I had some of that code in as of 1aa19422ac8748eeff219ac4f46df166dae783c5, + but ripped it all out) +* .. which results in creating `.git/annex` in a bare repo, which mightily + confuses git (so it will complain that the bare repo is not + a git repo at all!) +* `.git-annex/` needs to have state recorded to it and committed, and that + is not possible with a bare repo. (If [[todo/branching]] were done, + that might be fixed.) |
