Specicially, relative symlinks, +that are checked into git. To allow you to move those around without +annoyance, git-annex can run as a post-commit hook. This way, you can `git mv` +a symlink to an annexed file, and as soon as you commit, it will be fixed +up. + +`git annex init` tries to set up a post-commit hook that is itself a symlink +back to git-annex. If you want to have your own shell script in the post-commit +hook, just make it call `git annex` with no parameters. git-annex will detect +when it's run from a git hook and do the necessary fixups. |
