Much like what peff was talking about, it uses the smudge and clean filters to automatically redirect content into a .git/media directory instead of into Git itself while keeping the SHA in Git. One of the cool thing is that it can use S3, scp or a local directory to transfer the big files to and from.

I absolutely did not know you could do this, and it would make parts of git-media way better if I re-implemented it using this. Thanks for pointing this out. Scott
