This works regardless of whether you decide to check your changes into git annex (which tracks versions of a file and where it exists but not the actual content) or track the content as usual with git. I don't do this for my Org files (like Myles, I use plain git and a central bare repo), but I use git annex for other files whose content I don't want to track with git.
