You can find many other problems caused by encfs on this site, and has described security problems with encfs for years. It would not help for `git-annex add` to check some kind of filename limit, because it would not prevent you doing this: git annex add smallenough git mv smallenough oh-oops-my-name-is-too-long-for-encfs git commit -m haha A git pre-commit hook can of course be written that blocks such commits. I am not inclined to complicate git-annex just to handle encfs given how broken encfs is. """]]
