+Unfortunately, ikiwiki [[doesn't follow symlinks for security
+reasons|security]] - if it did, anyone who can commit to the wiki
+repository could publish any file readable by the user who runs ikiwiki,
+including secrets like `~/.gnupg/secring.gpg` or
+`~/.ssh/identity`.
+
+git-annex relies on symlinks, so that restriction breaks it.
+It would be great to be able to use some restricted, safe subset
+of symlinks (\"relative symlinks that point into `.git/annex`\" would
+be enough to support git-annex), and I've looked into it in the past.
+My [[plugins/contrib/album]] plugin would benefit from being able
+to annex the actual photos, for instance.
