Reply to comment by Liorithiel in [P] XetHub: We scaled Git to support 1 TB repos by rajatarya

True :) I haven't used `git annex` myself so for me it felt like _finally_ when I could put all parts of the project in one place with XetHub.

How do you like using git annex? Are you working with others on your projects - does git annex help support team collaboration?

Again, appreciate the comment!

Right now I've got one large 5 TB repository with general media and archives, and some smaller project-specific repos. Slow with many small files (like, over 1 million), but very easy to set up. Haven't tried collaboration, I've mostly worked with projects where my collaborators were rather less technical. My main use case was working with the same dataset on different computers, and for that it was more than enough.
