Dolt is Git for data

A year or so I looked into "git for data" for medical research data curation. At the time I found a couple of promising solutions based on wrapping git and git annex:

GIN: https://gin.g-node.org/ datalad: https://www.datalad.org/

At the time GIN looked really promising as something potentially simple enough for end users in the lab but with a lot of power behind it. (Unfortunately we never got it deployed due to organizational constraints... but that's a separate story.)

Came here to say the same regarding datalad.

You might want to look at some of the work we're doing in "git for connectomics": http://dvid.io

There will be a new backend released soon that should really improve our ability to transfer and backup versioned data.
