In my experience, binary file means proprietary editor, which means Windows. + +Unfortunately, there's not much overlap between people who use graphical editors in Windows all day vs. people who are willing to tolerate Cygwin's setup.exe, compile a Haskell program, learn git and git-annex's 90-odd subcommands, and use a mintty terminal to manage their repository, especially now that there's a sexy GitHub app for Windows. + +That aside, I think Windows-based content producers are still *the* audience for git-annex. First Windows support, then a GUI, then the world. +"""]]
