Utterly bulletproof is always good.

Getting a patch landed right now is difficult because we need to consider
all the use cases for symbolic links, especially the perils and pitfalls.
Monitoring each symlink might be overkill.

What I should've asked before was, why can't you simply create a symlink
from your Pictures directory to the git annex directory?  That would solve
this problem right away, I think.  Library monitoring should work as well.

I've attached your patch to the ticket with a link to the message, for
future reference: http://redmine.yorba.org/issues/2983
