25 ;; See the Org-mode manual for information on how to use it.
27 ;; Attachments are managed in a special directory called "data", which
28 ;; lives in the same directory as the org file itself. If this data
29 ;; directory is initialized as a Git repository, then org-attach will
30 ;; automatically commit changes when it sees them.
32 ;; Attachment directories are identified using a UUID generated for the
33 ;; task which has the attachments. These are added as property to the
34 ;; task when necessary, and should not be deleted or changed by the
35 ;; user, ever. UUIDs are generated by a mechanism defined in the variable
36 ;; `org-id-method'.
