At a minimum, the metafile should include a URI, stating the last known location of the file, rather than just a bare SHA256.

- joeyh 11y agoThat doesn't work very well. Consider what happens if two different clones of a repo update the metadata last-known url at the same time with different urls. Merge conflicts. This is why git-annex uses a separate branch for location tracking information, which it can merge in a conflict-free manner.
- paulcody 11y agoLate reply: that's fine, as long as there is some information as to where the location is, and not GitHub-only.
