+Well, like Pere, I am rather surprised by your response, Joey. I've been an enthusiastic supporter and follower of git-annex for a long time now, and have been looking forward to using it. I didn't expect a snarky reply...and you said yourself that it was snarky. Maybe you had a bad day or something? :)
+
+I don't understand why this request or idea is so controversial to you. I have several computers, and I use git to store basic text files like shell scripts and config files--a very common situation. I use Dropbox to sync them automatically between computers. I could use just git, and push/pull manually, but the whole point of having computers is for them to do things for me, automatically. The purpose of the git-annex assistant, as I understand it, is to do exactly that. Doing the push/pull manually would be a step backwards. And giving up manual control of the git repository, losing the ability to track changes to my files, would be a huge step backwards.
+
+This seems like it must be a very common use case among Linux users, especially ones who use the shell, git, etc. If git-annex isn't good for this situation, what is? Surely there's a better way than opening a shell and running \"git pull\" every time I walk from one computer to the other.
