Fedora 28: Security Advisory for Git-Annex Addressing Data Exposure

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, with a dozen

cloud storage providers 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.
