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: https://github.com/schacon/git-media On Sun, Jan 23, 2011 at 6:14 AM, Pete Wyckoff <pw@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > peff@xxxxxxxx wrote on Fri, 21 Jan 2011 17:24 -0500: > > Just a quick aside.

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.
