+There is not currently an easy way to do that. Although I suppose you could

+`git-annex addunused` could have a --historical option that adds back to
+the last-seen filename, like whereused does.
+
+Something would need to be done to handle the case where several unused
+keys use the same filename, or a file by that name already exists. Probably
+the simplest thing would be to add the key to the end of the filename.
