I'd even go one step further, and propose the option in the .gitattributes file. Indeed by default GnuPG compresses the data before encryption, which doesn't make a lot of sense for git-annex (in my use-case at least); My work-around to save this waste of CPU cycles was to customize my gpg.conf, but it's somewhat dirty since I do want to use compression in general. + +Here is how I envision the .git/config: +
    [annex]
+        gnupg-options = --s2k-cipher-algo AES256 --s2k-digest-algo SHA512 --s2k-count 8388608 --cipher-algo AES256 --compress-algo none
+
+ +And compression could be enabled on say, text files, with a suitable wildcard in the .gitattributes file. +
    *.txt annex.gnupg-options = --s2k-cipher-algo AES256 --s2k-digest-algo SHA512 --s2k-count 8388608 --cipher-algo AES256 --compress-algo zlib

+ +This is something I could probably hack on if you think it'd be a worthwhile option ;-)
