+\r
+I think we should use the prereq mechanism in the tests to check if a\r
+required test database is in place, skipping the test if not. This\r
+should be fairly straightforward to do, and does not care *how* the test\r
+database is to be fetched. (I'm undecided whether the test should verify\r
+the checksum, or the part that fetches the database. Minor detail.)\r
+\r
+I know git annex in principle, but don't have any practical experience\r
+with it. I don't really have any ideas for that.\r
