Format appears to be /BASE_DIR/xxx/yyy/FILEKEY/FILEKEY

How can I get the xxx/yyy or the complete storage path of an annexed file in a fast way?

Background:<br>
I have to \"chmod\" the xxx/yyy within an '.git/hooks/pre-commit' action (shared used NFS location).<br>
Following way using 'find' needs too much time in case of a big remote:

    $ git annex info --fast inputbinaries | grep 'directory:' | awk '{print $2}'
    /gitworkspace/inputbinaries/DWDM1830-all_playground

    $ git annex info vendor-libs/x86/libsnmpdm.a | grep 'key:' | awk '{print $2}'

    $ find /gitworkspace/inputbinaries/DWDM1830-all_playground -type f -name SHA256E-s3992448--82604383354b28f8efcdf8d83bb63607a8d5967551ded055e782ac342bb7f8e0.a
