It'd be very useful if its parameters could be customised just like an actual directory special remote to allow for e.g. encrypted and/or chunked storage. I have a use-case where this could significantly simplify things.
An interesting side-effect of this would be a tweakable location for a bare repo's storage which could be used to separate metadata and data (i.e. git repo on SSD for fast syncs and actual data on an HDD).

It would not make sense for a non-bare git repository to have annexed
contents in it encrypted or chunked, because that would prevent actually
accessing the annexed files at all; git-annex symlinks have to point to a
complete, non-encrypted file.
Bare git repositories are a very minor special case of non-bare git
repositories; they do not have a work tree or index. In other
respected, they are the same, and it's entirely possible to manually
convert a git repo to or from bare, or even temporarily use a bare repo
with a work tree.
It would be extremely inelegant if git-annex did something that broke
that. Which this would.
I think you should use a rsync special remote possibly. Which also has the
same layout as a directory special remote.
