{- git-annex key/value storage backends
 -
 - git-annex uses a key/value abstraction layer to allow files contents to be
 - stored in different ways. In theory, any key/value storage system could be
 - used to store the file contents, and git-annex would then retrieve them
 - as needed and put them in `.git/annex/`.
 - 
 - When a file is annexed, a key is generated from its content and/or metadata.
 - This key can later be used to retrieve the file's content (its value). This
 - key generation must be stable for a given file content, name, and size.
 - 
 - Multiple pluggable backends are supported, and more than one can be used
 - to store different files' contents in a given repository.
