This remote +helper handles URIs prefixed with `gcrypt::`. + +Supported backends are `local`, `rsync://` and `sftp://`, where the +repository is stored as a set of files, or instead any `<giturl>` +where gcrypt will store the same representation in a git repository, +bridged over arbitrary git transport. See "Performance" below for +backends comparison. The aim is to provide confidential, authenticated git storage and collaboration using typical untrusted file hosts or services. |
