+Description: manage files with git, without checking their contents into git
+ 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.
