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.) (now fixed) - ----- - -Update: Now that git-annex-shell is used for accessing remote repos, -it would be possible to add smarts about bare repos there, and avoid -some of the above problems. Probably only the state recording problem -remains. - -A possible other approach to the state recording repo is to not -record state changes on the remote in that case. Git-annex already -records remote state changes locally whenever it modifies the state of a -remote. --[[Joey]] - -> And... [[done]]!
