git-annex-4.20130909: doc/bugs/git_annex_add_error_with_Andrew_File_System.mdwn
### Please describe the problem.
I have a git annex clone on Andrew File System. I obtain an error when I try
to add a file to the annex:
git-annex: test: createLink: unsupported operation (Invalid cross-device link)
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Create a test file with touch and add it with git annex add.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex 4.20130723 on Debian sid.
### Please provide any additional information below.
[[!format sh """
gio@crack:~/nobackup/archive$ touch test

It seems to me that AFS doesn't support hard links between different
directories.
