git-remote-annex will be a program that allows push/pull/clone of a git
repository to many types of git-annex special remote.

This is a redesign and reimplementation of git-remote-datalad-annex. 
It will be a safer implementation, will support incremental pushes, and
will be available to users who don't use datalad.

prevent using git-remote-annex with unsuitable special remote configs I hope to support importtree=yes eventually, but it does not currently work. Added remote.<name>.allow-encrypted-gitrepo that needs to be set to allow using it with encrypted git repos. Note that even encryption=pubkey uses a cipher stored in the git repo to encrypt the keys stored in the remote. While it would be possible to not encrypt the GITBUNDLE and GITMANIFEST keys, and then allow using encryption=pubkey, it doesn't currently work, and that would be a complication that I doubt is worth it. 2024-05-14 13:52:20 -04:00			`git-remote-annex will be a program that allows push/pull/clone of a git`

preparing to merge git-remote-annex Update its todo with remaining items. Add changelog entry. Simplified internals document to no longer be notes to myself, but target users who want to understand how the data is stored and might want to extract these repos manually.

git-remote-annex: Fix error display on clone cleanupInitialization gets run when an exception is thrown, so needs to avoid throwing exceptions itself, as that would hide the error message that the user needs to see. 2024-05-27 13:28:05 -04:00			`> [[done!]] --[[Joey]]`
