git-annex instead of git LFS support? #5

Open photocyte opened 7 months ago

Hi there,

Sorry that I keep driving by your repo with Qs... Wondering if git-annex support could be on the cas roadmap, rather than git LFS?

I say this for no other reason, than git-annex is an alternative to git LFS support, that is also being widely used. See here for the git-annex homepage: https://git-annex.branchable.com

See here for "DataLad", an end to end scientific wrapped on git and git-annex, might inspire some thinking towards cas... https://handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/basics/101-180-FAQ.html

Thanks for bringing that up! I was considering it the other day too. You are right, might be worth adding a support for it.

I should actually surface some of the progress that I made on CASv2 and then discuss how this integration could be done.
