%description
-Remote helper programs are invoked by git to handle network transport.
-This helper handles gcrypt:: URLs that will access a remote repository
-encrypted with GPG, using our custom format.
-
-Supported locations 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.
+This lets git store git repositories in encrypted form.
+It supports storing repositories on rsync or sftp servers.
+It can also store the encrypted git repository inside a remote git
+repository. All the regular git commands like git push and git pull
+can be used to operate on such an encrypted repository.
The aim is to provide confidential, authenticated git storage and
collaboration using typical untrusted file hosts or services.
