./sysutils/git-annex, Manage files with git, without checking their contents into git

Branch: CURRENT, Version: 10.20240430nb4, Package name: git-annex-10.20240430nb4, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file
contents into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when
dealing with files larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due
to limitations in memory, time, or disk space.

It can store large files in many places, from local hard drives, to a large
number of cloud storage services, including S3, WebDAV, and rsync, and many
other usable via plugins. Files can be stored encrypted with gpg, so that
the cloud storage provider cannot see your data. git-annex keeps track of
where each file is stored, so it knows how many copies are available, and
has many facilities to ensure your data is preserved.

git-annex can also be used to keep a folder in sync between computers,
noticing when files are changed, and automatically committing them to git
and transferring them to other computers. The git-annex webapp makes it
easy to set up and use git-annex this way.
