Hello,
I'm starting to use git annex as a replacement for unison to sync/backup my family pictures.
It looks very promising, thank you very much for all this work!
My big plan (for now) is to use git annex
* on my Linux home server
* on my mac OS laptop
* on a (big) USB drive, that I could plug either on the server (at home) or the laptop (during holidays)
Since I want the USB drive to be usable from both Linux and mac OS, I picked FAT as a file system.
I first tried to set up a bare repository on the USB drive, but did hit the [[bugs/VFAT_crazy_limit_on_max_filenames_in_directory]].
So I used a "directory" special remote, and copied files from the server. It works fine.
I then created the SSH remote on the laptop and synced some content. It works quite well too.
I would now like to plug the USB drive on the laptop and tell it
"hey, this is the same remote as the one you've seen from the server, just mounted somewhere else"
(the path is `/Volumes/usbdrive/annex` on the laptop and `/media/usbdrive/annex` on the server).
The [[special_remotes/directory]] doc suggests it is possible, but I don't know how.
Shall I copy the relevant bit from the server `.git/config`, keeping the UUID and tweaking the mount point?
Thank you!

On the laptop, I just have to run
git annex enableremote usbdrive directory=/Volumes/usbdrive/annex
But I have not found a way to disable it (for use when the drive is unplugged) yet. It may not matter.

Hi,
how does \"git-annex sync --content\" transfers its file to a (regular) ssh-remote? I think it uses rsync.. Is that correct?
I want to use compression for the file transfers. Therefore, I tried in .git/config to set:
[remote \"origin\"]
annex-rsync-upload-options = \"--compress\"
However, it seems that this crashes the upload. The sync just seems to hang.. Is it possible to use compression for the transfer? How?
