Hi,
I'm new to Git but I really already love it. ;-)

I would like to have repository that transparently encrypts and decrypts all files using GPG.

What I need is a way to automatically modify each file

a) before it is written in the repository b) after it is read from the repository

Is there a way to get this work somehow? Can someone give me some hints where I need to begin?

regards, Matthias
