Description

Stores efficient backups using Git packfile ideas, including deduplication for repeated file content. It is useful for users who need command-line backups that can handle large trees without copying unchanged data every time.

Backups are only valuable after restore testing. Protect backup destinations, verify retention rules, and remember that Git builds may change behavior before stable releases.
