repo.macintoshgarden.org-fileset VS Bup

Sure, how would you like to get in touch? You have a discord, right? I actually was looking at your project and was thinking of opening a simple PR and Issue. (same username)

I have some more examples git-annex repos:

This is an annex repo I made of this popular abandonware website:

https://github.com/unqueued/repo.macintoshgarden.org-fileset

https://github.com/unqueued/ratholeradio-archive

What's cool is that people can use standard pull requests to add files to the repo. And the repo itself is small, but it can represent huge filesets. Datalad has some really fascinating medical imaging data repos that are massive (https://www.datalad.org/datasets.html).

If you wanna see a really good example of a repo with versioned binary files, check this out the git annex repo of previous git-annex binary releases:

https://downloads.kitenet.net/.git/

You can just use standard git workflows to see previous revisions of a file (well, previous hashes) but it is really easy to hook into.

I actually have thought about making a special remote specifically to diff images. But yeah, git-annex does a really amazing job at bridging the bag between binary and git.

The presented idea (one folder per commit, as FUSE fs) seems indeed largely impractical.

But there are good uses for mountable "git like" repos. For example for backup systems.

For example bup

Recently testing bup https://bup.github.io

You may really like https://github.com/bup/bup if you want something a bit more modern but in the same style

That's really good to hear! They got a (well deserved!) 100M investment recently. I didn't know it until recently, but apenwarr made some of my favourite tools (sshuttle, bup) and now tailscale! If you come across the podcast again, please post the link, I'd love to listen to it.
