system. For a backup system that uses git and that git-annex supports
storing data in, see [[special_remotes/bup]].
* git-annex is not a filesystem or DropBox clone. But there
is a FUSE filesystem built on top of git-annex, called
[ShareBox](https://github.com/chmduquesne/sharebox-fs), and there is
interest in making it easy to use and covering some of the use
cases supported by DropBox.
* git-annex is not a filesystem or DropBox clone. However, the git-annex
[[assistant]] is addressing some of the same needs in its own unique ways.
(There is also a FUSE filesystem built on top of git-annex, called
[ShareBox](https://github.com/chmduquesne/sharebox-fs).)
* git-annex is not unison, but if you're finding unison's checksumming
too slow, or its strict mirroring of everything to both places too
limiting, then git-annex could be a useful alternative.
* git-annex is more than just a workaround for git limitations that might

with a partial set of files, that are copied around as desired.
* git-annex is not some flaky script that was quickly thrown together.
I wrote it in Haskell because I wanted it to be solid and to compile
