“Thin Man” backs up all metadata in your source tree of git repos.

Project description

By recording the tree layout, git remotes and ‘refs’ of the typical ~/src directory containing your cloned git repos, “Thin Man” can restore that structure later on, and also sync it to other machines.

This can be also part of a backup strategy by only including that small amount of metadata in a backup set, instead of duplicating all the data that is available in remote locations anyway.

That of course assumes that your repositories are usually clean and don’t contain days of uncommitted work, and can be easily restored into working shape by bootstrap scripts and the like. But that’s a given, right?
