I recently tried to use unannex for a large repo and it failed because the repo size was more than half the disk size.  Unannex should work incrementally so this isn't a problem.

Proposed solution:
copy a file, hash it, iff hash check is okay, delete from objects, continue to next file

> That won't work, because multiple files can point to a key.
> 
> I am not happy with unannex's behavior, but I was less happy
> when people were constantly filing bugs about it misbehaving in that
> situttion. If you dislike the copying, use --fast. [[done]] --[[Joey]]
