The git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
|
|
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
|
|
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether
|
|
due to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.
|
|
|
|
Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git,
|
|
move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and
|
|
use branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use
|
|
git. And annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with
|
|
regularly versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining
|
|
documents, Makefiles, etc that are associated with annexed files but
|
|
that benefit from full revision control.
