   system. For a backup system that uses git and that git-annex supports
   storing data in, see [[special_remotes/bup]].
 
-* git-annex is not a filesystem or DropBox clone. But there
-  is a FUSE filesystem built on top of git-annex, called 
-  [ShareBox](https://github.com/chmduquesne/sharebox-fs), and there is
-  interest in making it easy to use and covering some of the use
-  cases supported by DropBox.
+* git-annex is not a filesystem or DropBox clone. However, the git-annex
+  [[assistant]] is addressing some of the same needs in its own unique ways.

 * git-annex is not unison, but if you're finding unison's checksumming
   too slow, or its strict mirroring of everything to both places too
   limiting, then git-annex could be a useful alternative.
 
-* git-annex is more than just a workaround for git limitations that might

+  git-annex's [[location_tracking]] allows having many repositories
+  with a partial set of files, that are copied around as desired.
 
 * git-annex is not some flaky script that was quickly thrown together.
   I wrote it in Haskell because I wanted it to be solid and to compile
