+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I am using a ssh-host configured in .ssh/config in a corporate-environment like this:
+
+[[!format sh """
+  Host home
+        Hostname 1.2.3.4
+        Port 443
+        ProxyCommand corkscrew proxy.fqdn 8080 %h %p ~/.authfile
+        # http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/
+"""]]
+
+I now want to be able to add this host as a remote repository, but don't have the ability to add it. A tunnel to localhost would be possible but then I would have to setup this portforwarding for git-annex separately every time it is started.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Add a remote host that is only reachable through a proxy.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+gentoo
+git-annex-5.20141125 {+assistant +cryptohash +dbus +desktop-notify +dns +feed +inotify +pairing +production +quvi +s3 +tahoe +tdfa +testsuite +webapp +webapp-secure +webdav +xmpp}
+
+
+
+Is it possible to use this predefined host, or add the possibility to configure git-annex like above?

+I fnally made it work. I tried git-annex sync wihtout luck. What tricked me was the size of the bare repo, it made me thought that it had the files. However after I've made a git annex get on the bare repo it got all the files and after that everthing worked as expected.
+So, if I don't get you wrong, it is safer to use a bare repo on the USB drive?
+Thanks for the help.

+I'm not new to git, and I perfectly know how to revert commits, however, I was confused about how git annex and git play together. In particular I tried to use it as a black box with the assistant and that was a bad idea.
+After adding the usb drive as remote with the assitant, all symlinks got deleted. However, doing a checkout to the commit that messed up everything I got thing back to normal.
+Sadly, your message arrived a couple of hours late, I could have saved me a lot of time.
+Thanks for taking the time to answer.
+Sorry for the previous rant.

+Hello,
+
+I was wondering what `The metadata values can contain absolutely anything you like -- but you're recommended to keep it simple and reasonably short.` listed on the [[metadata]] page really means?
+
+
+Here is my use case (which is part of a larger solution)...
+
+I've been storing my photos in git annex for a while (years perhaps), I (or actually the wife) tried to find one and couldn't, so I'm thinking I need to add metadata (Tags and captions, etc) to each picture. I was looking for ways to do so. I was actually considering using gthumb or shotwell or similar to create the tags and somehow pull that out and associate it with the file (either with a plugin or program) and then sort out how to distribute the metadata with the pics. The git annex metadata seems like a reasonable solution for keeping metadata with the pictures. The question is in this case, how long can the text in say a caption tag before git-annex has problems? I could probably do something like caption-<seq> to handle really long captions, but then captions are short by definition, so perhaps I should say description instead. And for this particular use case, I am aware this doesn't solve the problem of actually creating the data, just trying to sort out if get annex metadata to the right solution to tie the metadata to a pic, err file.

+Dear all,
+   I have a repository in direct mode which still has some symlinks pointing to .git/annex/objects. Is there a way to turn them back into regular files. I don't recall why this happen, I guess I started on indirect mode and after that I converted it to direct mode.
+Thanks in advance.
