+h2. Mount types
The "mounts" hash is the primary mechanism for adding data to the container at runtime (beyond what is already in the container image).
"kind":"collection",
"uuid":"..."
}</code></pre>|
-|Git tree|@git_tree@|One of { @"git-url"@, @"repository_name"@, @"uuid"@ } must be provided.
-One of { @"commit"@, @"revisions"@ } must be provided.
-"path" may be provided. The default path is "/".
-At container startup, the target path will have the source tree indicated by the given revision. The @.git@ metadata directory _will not_ be available: typically the system will use @git-archive@ rather than @git-checkout@ to prepare the target directory.
-- If a value is given for @"revisions"@, it will be resolved to a set of commits (as desribed in the "ranges" section of git-revisions(1)) and the container request will be satisfiable by any commit in that set.
-- If a value is given for @"commit"@, it will be resolved to a single commit, and the tree resulting from that commit will be used.
-- @"path"@ can be used to select a subdirectory or a single file from the tree indicated by the selected commit.
-- Multiple commits can resolve to the same tree: for example, the file/directory given in @"path"@ might not have changed between commits A and B.
-- The resolved mount (found in the Container record) will have only the "kind" key and a "blob" or "tree" key indicating the 40-character hash of the git tree/blob used.|<pre><code>{

|Temporary directory|@tmp@|@"capacity"@: capacity (in bytes) of the storage device.
@"device_type"@ (optional, default "network"): one of @{"ram", "ssd", "disk", "network"}@ indicating the acceptable level of performance.
At container startup, the target path will be empty. When the container finishes, the content will be discarded. This will be backed by a storage mechanism no slower than the specified type.|<pre><code>{
"output_path": "/tmp"
</code></pre>|Specified path refers to the file *hello.txt* in the *alice* subdirectory|./*foo* 030326... 0:13:*bar*\n
*Note:* Here the subdirectory *alice* is replaced with *foo* and the filename *hello.txt* from this subdirectory is replaced with *bar*.|

+h2(#symlinks-in-output). Symlinks in output
+
+When a container's output_path is a tmp mount backed by local disk, this output directory can contain symlinks to other files in the the output directory, or to collection mount points. If the symlink leads to a collection mount, efficiently copy the collection into the output collection. Symlinks leading to files or directories are expanded and created as regular files in the output collection. Further, whether symlinks are relative or absolute, every symlink target (even targets that are symlinks themselves) must point to a path in either the output directory or a collection mount.
