<p>Well, it's normal to have broken symlinks if the content of a file
is not present. <code>git annex get</code> will get the file content
and replace the symlink with it.</p>
<p>If the symlink is not broken, you can run <code>git annex fsck</code> on the file
and it will notice and fix this inconsistency.</p>
<p>Some old versions of git-annex had bugs in direct mode that could result
in files being left as symlinks like that. I have not seen any bugs
lately in that area. If you have a way to get a repository into that
state, file a bug report with a test case.</p>
going back to indirect mode fixed ithttp://git-annex.branchable.com/forum/some_symlinks_left_in_direct_mode/comment_2_63f61caf28e834d48e12467bf09b2e3d/Juan2014-12-03T18:35:58Z2014-12-03T18:35:58Z
<p>I went back to indirect mode and stayed there. Every file is now accesible. I don't know what happened.
Thanks.</p>
