longDescription = ''
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.
