git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
|
| 10 |
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
|
| 11 |
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
|
| 12 |
to limitations in memory, checksumming time, or disk space.
|
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git,
|
| 15 |
move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use
|
| 16 |
branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And
|
| 17 |
annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly
|
| 18 |
versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles,
|
| 19 |
etc that are associated with annexed files but that benefit from full
|
| 20 |
revision control.
