One use case for this would be if you have a removable drive that
you want to use it to sneakernet files between systems (possibly with
[[encrypted|encryption]] contents). Just set up both systems to use

the drive's mountpoint as a directory remote.
Setup example:
# git annex initremote usbdrive type=directory directory=/media/usbdrive/ encryption=none
# git annex describe usbdrive "usb drive on /media/usbdrive/"
