gcrpyt is fully working now. Most of the examples in fully encrypted git repositories with gcrypt should work.

A few known problems:

  • git annex sync refuses to sync with gcrypt remotes. some url parsing issue.
  • Swapping two drives with gcrypt repositories on the same mount point doesn't work yet.
  • http urls are not supported
I'm guessing there is no way to convert an rsync special remote to a gcrypt special remote? It would be cool not to have to upload 100GB across the Atlantic again!

Well, rsync and gcrypt use the same locations for annexed content, so it's theoretically possible.

However, it seems a lot easier to just add a gcrypt remote and let git-annex use the existing rsync remote for the content that is already stored in it.
