### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
I've used it successfully on Linux and Android. My attempts on Windows have been less successful, though I never tried with core.ignoreStat=true. Now I'm trying to use it to manage the SD cards for various devices: my Pi1541, Odroid Go, and Sansa Clip Zip.
