Hey,

Sorry to come in a bit late to this, but in addition to git-annex, I
wrote something called 'git-media' a long time ago that works in a
similar manner to what you both are discussing.

Much like what peff was talking about, it uses the smudge and clean
filters to automatically redirect content into a .git/media directory
instead of into Git itself while keeping the SHA in Git.  One of the
cool thing is that it can use S3, scp or a local directory to transfer
the big files to and from.

Check it out if interested:

This is amazing.  I absolutely did not know you could do this, and it
would make parts of git-media way better if I re-implemented it using
this.  Thanks for pointing this out.
