Hello Everyone,
I created a set of scripts to work around some limitations in git-annex (although some of this is out of scope for git-annex ) like managing git repos inside a git-annex repo and (emulating) encryption=shared for gcrypt remotes. This is pretty much tailored to my own use-case, but maybe someone else is interested in this.
You can find the Workarounds alongside a small Guide here:

Regards,
Lukey

`publicurl` configuration option was added to S3 special remote to facilitate public access to the files deposited to S3 via their HTTP "frontend". For many remotes (e.g. `rsync`, `directory`, etc) it might happen that the remote location directory is also served by a regular HTTP server. So it sounds very reasonable to enable regular HTTP(/https) access to those files publicly by providing those special remotes with `publicurl` setting so annex could simply try to access those files via http. In particular relevant for the special remotes with `exporttree=true`.

Maybe, it'll suffice to just register the URL with the built-in web remote (via addurl, or registerurl and setpresentkey)?

Yes, it is possible to register a url per each file as a workaround but it is somewhat unnecessary and inflexible: if top url changes, all urls will need to be adjusted.

ATM I do not see any obvious way to get a list of options supported by a special remote of a given type.
manpage says
The remote's configuration is specified by the parameters passed to this command. Different types of special remotes need different configura‐
tion values. The command will prompt for parameters as needed.
and indeed I get asked for e.g. encryption to be explicitly specified (why not to default to none). But it would not even complain if I specify some bogus (mistyped etc) option. I do not see any way (tried different --help's etc) to figure out what options any given special remote actually supports without going online to e.g. https://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/rsync/ for `rsync` special remote. It makes configuration of special remotes not a trivial matter for new users. IMHO there should be some way (mentioned in man of initremote and enableremote) to get information about supported by the remote options, e.g. `git annex getremoteopts TYPE` or alike. I am not sure how it should/would work for custom special remotes since I think protocol ATM doesn't support querying for a list of configuration options. May be `GETCONFIG` interface command could be extended to return a list with of options with description? or some new command be added?
