<p>It should be possible to union mount annexes. So if multiple drives have
content, an annex mounting them both would have available all the
content from all the drives.</p>
<p>This could be done by just making .git/annex/KEY link to the actual content
on the mounted annex.</p>
<p>(Need to make sure the <a href="../copies.html">copy tracking</a> code does not
confused and think the symlink is a copy of the content.. Also need to make
sure that code that writes to .git/annex does not follow symlinks.))</p>
