So, it's possible to use that to add eg, source files. But it currently skips symlinks (unless they're git-annex symlinks). What I think makes sense to do is make it also process symlinks, and always check them into git as-is. So, git-annex add becomes like git-add except smart about adding large files to the annex. """]]
