+A suggestion from #git-annex:
+
+> <mhameed> i think others are already doing this, using branches, but not sure if we have a writeup/tutorial of it
+>
+> <mhameed> gioele:  instead of working on master branch, switch to laptop branch, git rm the files that are not wanted and commit
+>
+> <gioele> mhameed: I'm lazy, I'd like git-annex to do that for me :)
