I too need to be able to select the directory on the remote drive that the
annex will be synced to.

If I just add a remote drive via the web app, it syncs the repository to
`/mnt/usb/annex`, and it looks like it just creates a bare repository in
that folder. I need the repository to be synced to something like
`/mnt/usb/subfolder/myspecifiedfoldername` and I need that remote to be a
full repository.

My use case is that I use the USB drive to keep annexes in sync between two
computers. I have multiple annexes that need to be synced between the two
computers, and none of them are in a directory called `annex`. I also need
to be able to plug the drive into other computers and access the files
directly, without doing a `git clone` or anything like that. I have all of
this setup and working fine with just plain old git annex, but the web app
does not seem to support creating new repositories with this workflow.

I think it makes a lot of sense to allow the web application to add a new
remote that is simply a directory. People like me could specify the path of
the directory to be on the mounted USB drive. Others may want to add a
remote that is a mounted network share or something like that.
