Sorry if duplicating the issue. + +In some scenarios we do know ahead of time url + size + filename (thus extension) + corresponding checksum for the content. We would like to implement `addurl` which would not even talk to the remote server but just "mint" corresponding path to the key under `.git/annex/objects` and `registerurl` to it. But I failed to find a convenience annex command which would allow us to get the full key (accounting for `E` the way git annex does), and full path to it (thus adding `DIRHASH` which special remotes could "query", and which is appropriate given the repository settings). + +I made subject prefixed with `calckey` since it seems like the closest hit but it does need an actual file. + +[[!meta author=yoh]] +[[!tag projects/datalad]]
