 ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
 Of course! git-annex is totally amazing in order to manage big collections of files. I'm using it for my videos, and for my photos as well (thousands of files), on Linux and MacOS. Thank you very much for this awesome tool!

+The directory special remote writes to a directory under the "tmp"
+directory, and then it renames that into place. Amoung other things that
+makes the update happen atomically. If "tmp" is on another filesystem than
+the final destination, a rename won't work.
+
+I just don't see any point in making this be supported, because if it were,
+git-annex would have to first write to the "tmp" directory, and then
+re-write the same files all over again to the final destination. So making
+the tmp directory be on a faster device can't actually speed anything up.
+It would just make it slower.
