Description:
ipfs add now has an experimental --no-copy option, which allows to make a file/directory known to IPFS, and serve it to other peers from its original place on the hard disk.
Could you add a similar feature to ipfs get to write files to the filesystem, without adding them in ~/.ipfs too (assuming they are not already there)?
Thanks!
