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