I'm using git-annex to make videos, pictures and music available on all my devices (windows, android, linux). It has saved me on trips with my 2yr daughter when she's had meltdowns; I have her favorite movie ready. I quickly exceeded the free dropbox quota and git-annex has replaced the need and gives me greater confidence and control over my data. Thank you!

I'm a graduate student, so I write a lot. I started using git to manage my latex sources a while ago, but I didn't like gumming up my repository with a bunch of figures (large binaries). I was constantly forgetting to scp the latest versions of my figures from here to there (as I do my work on a number of different computers.) Git annex gives me a good way to version the figures and manage them with the same tool I'm using for the text.
My use case seems pretty far from typical, judging from the other comments here, so I thought I should add my two cents! I'm constantly trying to sell this approach to my fellow students.
Also, I'm going to slip in a plug for another great Haskell project here -- Pandoc. I work with people who suggest changes to my drafts, but only using Word's \"Track Changes\". So now I'm generating Word docs from Pandoc markdown for my collaborators to edit. When it comes time to publish, I can convert my markdown to latex and clean up the formatting.
Why are all the really cool projects written in Haskell? :)

Excellent stuff! Another thing I'd like to see is that I find myself doing the following all the time:
git annex copy --to titan --not --in titan
Meaning: copy everything to titan that it doesn't already have. This operation is very quick. But I write just:
git annex copy --to titan
This operation is extremely slow, since it appears to scan through every file in the repository. Is there a way to have the latter imply the former? I wouldn't ever want to copy a file that it already has anyway...
