Summary	git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents into git.
Description	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, checksumming time, or disk space. Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git, move files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use branches and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And annexed files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly versioned files, which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles, etc that are associated with annexed files but that benefit from full revision control. This is a prebuilt version of git-annex distributed in binary form. Versioned binary packages are not available, so this is an 'scm' package that will download the latest release automatically.
