Thank you all for the pointers - anyone interested in doing a short blog
post about options for the benefit of other scientists?
Not me, sorry. I have the problem but haven't yet found any solution yet
that's worth talking about.
For anyone who does want to tackle this, please don't forget to mention the
infrastructure requirements and limitations of potential solutions. In my
experience, the "big files" tag is usually associated with other tags that
make it hard to use version control.
The one that bothers me most in my own work is that I use a cluster to work
on my big files, and my cluster happens to have the most extreme firewall
imaginable: no Internet access at all. I can connect to the machine via
ssh, and that's it: no other protocol, and no outgoing connections. For me,
a "big file" version control system must thus allow repository
synchronization via ssh (e.g. using scp).
