Directory special remotes now support chunking files written to them

Browse source 
Avoiding writing files larger than a specified size is useful on certian
things. For example, box.com has a file size limit of 100 mb. Could also
be useful on really crappy removable media.

@ -5,6 +5,25 @@ you want to use it to sneakernet files between systems (possibly with
[[encrypted|encryption]] contents). Just set up both systems to use
the drive's mountpoint as a directory remote.
## configuration
These parameters can be passed to `git annex initremote` to configure the
remote:
* `encryption` - Required. Either "none" to disable encryption of content
stored in the directory,
or a value that can be looked up (using gpg -k) to find a gpg encryption
key that will be given access to the remote. Note that additional gpg
keys can be given access to a remote by rerunning initremote with
the new key id. See [[encryption]].
* `chunksize` - Avoid storing files larger than the specified size in the
directory. For use on directories on mount points that have file size
limitations. The default is to never chunk files.
Note that changing the chunk size of an existing remote is
not recommended.
The value can use specified using any commonly used units.
Example: `chunksize=100 megabytes`
Setup example:
# git annex initremote usbdrive type=directory directory=/media/usbdrive/ encryption=none
