down to a binary. And it has a fairly extensive test suite. (Don't be
fooled by "make test" only showing a few dozen test cases; each test
involves checking dozens to hundreds of assertions.)
* git-annex is not [git-media](https://github.com/schacon/git-media),
although they both approach the same problem from a similar direction.
I only learned of git-media after writing git-annex, but I probably
would have still written git-annex instead of using it. Currently,
git-media has the advantage of using git smudge filters rather than
git-annex's pile of symlinks, and it may be a tighter fit for certian
situations. It lacks git-annex's support for widely distributed storage,
using only a single backend data store. It also does not support
partial checkouts of file contents, like git-annex does.
