The problem is that if a huge number of files is stored inside the repository, the repository itself becomes huge and slow. There are some ways to improve the performance ([[tips/Repositories_with_large_number_of_files]], [[forum/Handling_a_large_number_of_files]], [[forum/__34__git_annex_sync__34___synced_after_8_hours]]), but it doesn't solve the issue completely. + + +I was wondering if it is possible to force git annex to treat a single directory as one item in history?
