Another [[special_remote|special_remotes]] that git-annex can use is
a [[special_remotes/bup]] repository. Bup stores large file contents
in a git repository of its own, with deduplication. Combined with
git-annex, you can have git on both the frontend and the backend.
Here's how to create a bup remote, and describe it.
# git annex initremote mybup type=bup encryption=none remote=example.com/big/mybup
initremote bup (init) ok
# git annex describe mybup "my bup repository at example.com"
describe mybup ok
Now the remote can be used like any other remote.
# git annex move my_cool_big_file --to mybup
move my_cool_big_file (to mybup...) ok
See [[special_remotes/bup]] for details.
