At first glance, OwnCloud seems to be similar:

(That said, git-annex assistant looks very cool.)

Yes they both looks good. git-annex has all the advantages of git, but is lacking windows support, whereas ownCloud is has better multi-OS support, because thanks to Qt it runs on Win/Mac/Linux, but uses csync as synch algorithm..
