+woohoo ! Great to see such productive holidays! ;)  I will give it a try as soon as I can and I guess we should then add some unittests within datalad for typical readonly operations within CI (we already \"abuse\" `sudo` in a few spots for similar needs).

+Bravo! Readonly annex merge support seems to mostly work on Windows, too, which frankly surprised me a bit. I was under
+the impression that Windows was kind of a lost cause at times and no readonly-type support would be forthcoming on this
+platform. :D So colour me surprised when `wanted`, `whereis` and `log` worked just like that. Only `info` gave me
+trouble when I targeted a directory or file with it:
+

+An argumentless `info` works just fine:

+Should I file a bug, Joey? Or do you still think this is hardly worth pursuing? :)
