Well... those who got their Git repository corrupted also used Git as a
"content tracker". But I believe Git is a content tracker primary for
source code, thus using it as a backup tool or to store your multi-media
collection is abuse of Git... Having said so, I have no objection that
Git could be used in those areas too... So, I would like to hear any
specific suggestion how to achieve those goals better...
