There is a potential ongoing performance issue; since git-annex has kept
the log files in the git-annex branch. This makes for a larger
.git/annex/index file (which git rewrites rather inefficiently when
changes are made). The hashing used for the log files should avoid much
bloat to the tree objects, they will be somewhat bigger but not
excessively so.
