I looked at git-fat as an option for me, but what killed it was rsync as the only backend; I really wanted to send files to S3.
I also looked at git-annex, and I could see using it if it were just me on the project (or as a way of keeping fewer files on my laptop drive), but I was reluctant to add any more complexity to the source control process, since explaining how to use git-annex to the entire team was too big of a barrier.
- jedbrown 11y agoThanks for the feedback. There is a PR for S3 support, but it's dormant because it was mixed with other changes that broke compatibility. I haven't personally wanted S3, so haven't made time to rework the PR.
- willkelleher 11y agoAh, that is my fault. We're using the fork quite actively, but need to revive that PR and improve the config settings.
