{- git-annex key/value storage backends
-
- git-annex uses a key/value abstraction layer to allow files contents to be
- stored in different ways. In theory, any key/value storage system could be
- used to store the file contents, and git-annex would then retrieve them
- as needed and put them in `.git/annex/`.
-
- When a file is annexed, a key is generated from its content and/or metadata.
- This key can later be used to retrieve the file's content (its value). This
- key generation must be stable for a given file content, name, and size.
-
- The mapping from filename to its key is stored in the .git-annex directory,
- in a file named `$filename.$backend`
-
- Multiple pluggable backends are supported, and more than one can be used
- to store different files' contents in a given repository.
