`git annex enableremote`. This only affects the chunk sized used when
storing new content.
# old-style chunking
Note that older versions of git-annex used a different chunk method, which
was configured by passing `chunksize=nnMib` when initializing a remote.
The old-style chunking had a number of problems, including being less
efficient, and not allowing resumes of encrypted uploads.
It's not possible to change a remote using that old chunking method to the
new one, but git-annex continues to support the old-style chunking to
support such remotes.
