Hello, I am thinking about using git for doing differential backups of a whole machines. And I would like to know what is necessary to obtain that. In such a scenario the machine to be backed up should have a local index file but sends its objects directly to the remote machine via git-via-ssh or git protocol. Is it possible to store extra information like extended attributes / acls in git? I don't care about named pipes, sockets and device files for the moment.
