Description

#### Type:

Enhancement

#### Severity:

Medium

#### 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!
