Announcement of git-remote-gcrypt (A custom encrypted remote format)

Hi,

git-remote-gcrypt is a remote helper for git that (ab)uses this format to make it possible to push, pull and clone directly to and from a custom encrypted repository format. Available from::

     https://github.com/blake2-ppc/git-remote-gcrypt

It is relatively simple, and hopefully the protocol is sound and secure; it uses GPG and allows multiple participants to possibly collaborate using an untrusted and even public host. The git-on-git backend is experimental and probably buggy, but it works.

The format intentionally targets mainly dumb hosts such as various bulk storage providers and therefore there is nothing smart about the protocol; when fetching we can do no better than downloading every new packfile.

I hope it interests someone, and maybe it even reaches the target of being both usable and secure. It also helps me if you point out if/how/why it is broken(!).
