My curiosity's certainly piqued, but I confess that I don't quite get the applications here. Any chance Carsten or John would be willing to let us know how they're using this? Also, the synopsis above and the manual both mention git integration, but I don't understand what exactly is done. It sounds like if the org file lives in a directory that is a git repo, any additions or changes to the files in the auto-generated data/ subdirectory are automatically committed? Is this the right idea? What does the synchronize command do if the directory isn't a git repo? I am thrilled to see a move towards some nice defaults for org and git integration. I see that in org-attach.el you're using shell-command to call git directly. If you don't mind, may I ask if you considered using git.el that is distributed with git (in contrib/emacs/), or even magit (http://zagadka.vm.bytemark.co.uk/magit/)?
