I think Joey is a vim user, so I doubt he's said anything about an Emacs program choosing to call "git annex get" :) But yeah, that's a good point about which parts of Org should support or care about annexed files. IMO export and nearly all parts of Org should not. I see org-attach as an exception because it is focused on managing external files and already has some support for doing so with git and git-annex. (I think it would be fine for org-attach to support other ways of storing files, should someone care to implement it.) But I don't actually use org-attach, so I may be off the mark here. -- Kyle
