git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
|
|
|
|
|
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
|
|
|
|
|
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
|
|
|
|
|
to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git,
|
|
|
|
|
move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use
|
|
|
|
|
branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And
|
|
|
|
|
annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly
|
|
|
|
|
versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles,
|
|
|
|
|
etc that are associated with annexed files but that benefit from full
|
|
|
|
|
revision control.
