Hi,
In normal maven release procedure, it re-clones the gitrepo from the tag to do the release from either git or local file, But as git-annex uses symlinks when the repo is clones by maven, it misses the files. Any recommendations how i can make this work ?
Also would love some data on who is using git-annex in production environment would be good.

git annex getin the cloned repo, it will copy over the files. Perhaps there is some way to make Maven do that via a hook script or similar?
