+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.
