>if you want to protect your music collection from accidental changes and are willing to use it manually from the command line, git-annex will work better.

that's what plain old backups are for, surely? if I screw something up I can just restore from backup.

and anyway this is just not something that has ever caused me a problem in the first place. how often do you even do something that has a chance of fucking up your music collection in particular?

It's not always obvious when music players are changing the metadata of your files vs storing stuff in some other database.
