We are usually not propagating.  For example, emacs-magit or git-lfs or

About (2), what do you mean Konrad?  Is ’git-annex’ not working as
expected?  Well, ’git annex’ is a shorthand for ’git-annex’ and I
thought this ’git-annex’ is self-contained; for which operations
’git-annex’ depends on the ’git’ binaires?
