@andrew while it might be possible in theory to set up a rsync special
|
||
|
|
remote that's usable without connecting to the rsync server yet, there
|
||
|
|
are other types of special remotes that do need to connect to the server.
|
||
|
|
S3 comes to mind; it needs to either create a bucket or check if an
|
||
|
|
existing bucket is already being used as a git-annex remote.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So, I don't think this can be supported generally
|
||
|
|
across all special remote implementations. We could try to support it for
|
||
|
|
specific ones like rsync. I don't actually see anywhere in the code for the
|
||
|
|
rsync special remote where initremote will connect to the remote server
|
||
|
|
though.
