{- 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.
-
- Multiple pluggable backends are supported, and more than one can be used
- to store different files' contents in a given repository.
