> josh: Do you do anything in git-annex to try to make the files immutable?
> For instance, removing write permission, or even chattr?
> joey: I don't, but that's a very good idea

+> josh: I'd hate to run into a program which somehow followed the symlink and then did an unlink to replace the file.
