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, 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.
