I use git-crypt and it's a nice tool.  But my desire is for the files to be 
encrypted on disk, not just in the git repo.  Best would be for the files 
to be decrypted on-demand.

Something like this.

    cat <encrypted journal file> | my_decrypt_script | ledger ...

But AFAIK this can't work with journal files that have 'include' statements.

So instead I'm doing whole-folder encryption with eCryptfs (on ubuntu...)

This works OK.  But IMO it would be better if there was an IO plugin system 
like beancount...
