git show version:path currently outputs the content of the symlink.
This is sub-optimal.  It would be nice if this would call into
git-annex, and request the proper data from annex's store, optionally
fetching the content from a remote if required.

I know this might not be possible, without some kind of callback hook
that git-show can use.

Yeah, there's no hook to do that, but it would be possible to write a
git annex show that did it.
