dispite loving the idea of git annex and having tried it multiple time in my workflows, it was really to complex to wrap my head around for simple use cases. Also i never got it to run on cygwin which is essential to me because it heavily uses symlinks (havent checked if the Windows version finally supports native symlinks). The examples are all about nontech creative ppl but i never managed to explain it to anyone who wanted to check in just large amounts of graphics to a bit repo...

I don't know about the windows problem, but git annex can be configured to be pretty simple to use. See:
