Lol, now that is a point.

I obviously did not think this through.

Thank you for pointing that out. Probably I would like to split out 
repositories then.

I.e. have one with the unencrypted files and one with the encrypted ones 
inside Private/. Now how to split out a repository by certain files or 
directories is something I´d have to dig out.

But that is really an argument I get.

Thing is: It started unencrypted but I setup a Private directory for 
some more sensitive stuff, but unless its fully support in filesystem 
(BTRFS in this case), I´d rather not crypt everything.

Thank you again,
