intercept file access to git-annex repos
Hi, still about photos and git-annex: When my wife edits photos prior to uploading them, it would be fine if she wouldn't need to know about git-annex. Hacking git-annex support in every photo application is no option. But is there any linux kernel or LD_PRELOAD magic that could intercept access to a git-annex repo and make it look "normal"? (I just realize that we already talked about a fuse filesystem for git-annex.) The interceptor should show the real files instead of symlinks and should do an edit-add roundtrip for any write access.
