@vsbuffalo This is such a cool idea I'm looking into getting it going on my current project!
I was wondering how you would recommend treating symbolic links to data. I have some large, locally stored datasets that I am using for different projects. To save disk space while making it clear what datasets are being used in each project, I put symbolic links to the dataset into a data subdirectory of each project where the data is needed.
I'm guessing that I should add the original locations of the data to each SDF repository that uses the data? I am also thinking that SDF will help a lot with this workflow!
@askennard one feature I want to add is local caching for shared servers! I think it would handle this issue well. It’s a bit of work to add this feature though so may be some time until I get to it.
