Documentation Missing: Encryption #20

Open MaZderMind opened 11 years ago

MaZderMind commented 11 years ago

Hi

It would be nice if you could drop a line about encryption into the readme. Are files encryted when used directly? Are they encrypted when using git annex? Am I right that using git annex makes the backup unreadable by other tools?

Regards, Peter

glacier-cli doesn't do anything to do with encryption right now (although #24 adds it). git-annex can do encryption. I feel that git-annex's documentation would be more suitable to cover git-annex's behaviour in detail.

The latest git-annex now supports glacier (via this tool) directly, so I think it might be better to remove the git-annex documentation from here and replace it with a link to git-annex's documentation.

Thanks for the note! I'll leave this open until I get it done.
