<p>Your pull request should be for the branch you changed. In this case, the
<code>master</code> branch. This is the same as adding files to a regular git
repository and making a pull request for that.</p>
<p>The changes that git-annex makes to the <code>git-annex branch</code> can either be
ignored by the person who merges your pull request, or they could opt to
fetch your git-annex branch and let git-annex auto-merge it for them. A
manual review and pull request of the <code>git-annex</code> branch is not likely to be
productive. Whether they need to merge your <code>git-annex</code> branch into their
<code>git-annex</code> branch depends on whether git-annex's information about eg,
locations of file contents needs to be passed along with your pull
request.</p>
<p>Note that GitHub does not support using git-annex to upload the content of
annexed files to it. (GitLab does support this.) This GitHub limitation
may cause problems with this kind of workflow.</p>
