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. |
