The app should be aware of network status, and avoid expensive data transfers when not on wifi. This may need to be configurable. - -### FAT sucks - -The main media partition will use some awful FAT filesystem format from -1982 that cannot support git-annex's symlinks. (Hopefully it can at least -handle all of git's filenames.) Possible approaches to this follow. - -(May want to consider which of these would make a Windows port easier too.) - -#### bare git repo with file browser - -Keep only a bare git repo on Android. The app would then need to include -a file browser to access the files in there, and adding a file would move -it into the repo. - -Not ideal. - -Could be improved some by registering git-annex as a file handling app on -Android, allowing you to "send to" git-annex. - -#### implement git smudge filters - -See [[todo/smudge]]. - -Difficult. Would make git-annex generally better. - -#### keep files outside bare git repo - -Use a bare git repo but don't keep files in `annex/objects`, instead -leave them outside the repo, and add some local mapping to find them. - -Problem: Would leave files unlocked to modification, which might lose a -version git-annex dependend upon existing on the phone. (Maybe the phone -would have to be always considered an untrusted repo, which probably -makes sense anyway.) - -#### crazy `LD_PRELOAD` wrapper - -Need I say more? (Also, Android's linker may not even support it.) |
