+If you have multiple clones that access the same filesystem, you can make
+`.git/fat/objects` a symlink to a common location, in which case all content
+will be available in all repositories without extra copies. You still need to
+`git fat push` to make it available to others.

# Some refinements
* Allow pulling and pushing only select files
* Relate orphan objects to file system
