+Today, I've expanded `git annex info` to also be able to be used on annexed files
+and on remotes. Looking at the info for an individual remote is quite
+useful, especially for answering questions like: Does the remote have
+embedded creds? Are they encrypted? Does it use chunking? Is that old style
+chunking?
