Yes, I've looked at bup. I wish the author would try to get it integrated as part of the git suite (or at least in contrib/). Having to specify things like GIT_DIR before using bup commands seems dangerous. Plenty of git commands keep their own metadata in .git.

I would love to see "git bup!"

The reason I'm sticking with git is that's is easily available anywhere and right now I mostly just use it as a more convenient rsync. That is, I simply want to make a bunch of files easily available anywhere. As a bonus, replication provides a incremental backup capability.

That's pretty close. Unfortunately:

"But, git-annex also extends git's concept of remotes, with these special types of remotes. These can be used just like any normal remote by git-annex. They cannot be used by other git commands though."
