Or an automated, interspersed version of

git annex unlock --in=here
find . -path ./.git -prune -o -type f -perm /222 -exec chmod 444 {} \;

or something.



Bug#868084: git-annex: adjusted-unlocked mode but different

2017-07-11 Thread Clint Adams
Package: git-annex
Version: 6.20170101-1
Severity: wishlist

I would like some way of operating with a working tree that has

 1) the actual files as if they are unlocked, but mode 0444
 2) for files missing from the annex, either
a) no file in working tree or
b) a broken symlink just as if the file were locked

In other words, I want a read-only human-readable view of the 
files in the annex, and I do not want ~150-octet real files with
the annex object path in them.

I hope that was coherent.
