First, you need a bare git repository that you can push to, and pull from. This simplifies most git workflow.

Secondly, I use [mr](http://kitenet.net/~joey/code/mr/), with this in `.mrconfig`:

<pre>
[DEFAULT]
lib =
        annexupdate() {
                git commit -a -m update || true
                git pull \"$@\"
                git annex merge
                git push || true
        }

[lib/sound]
update = annexupdate
[lib/big]
update = annexupdate
</pre>

Which makes \"mr update\" in repositories where I rarely care about git details take care of syncing my changes.

I also make \"mr update\" do a \"git annex get\" of some files in some repositories that I want to always populate. git-annex and mr go well together. :)

Perhaps my annexupdate above should be available as \"git annex sync\"?
