I can't think of a reasonable way to implement this.
It would need to hash and then look for a known SHA256E key that uses the
hash. But the layout of the git-annex branch doesn't provide any way to do
that, except for iterating over every filename in the branch. Which
would be prohibitively slow when reinjecting many files. (N times git
ls-tree -r) So it would need to build a data structure to map from SHA256
to known SHA256E key. That can't be stored in memory, git-annex doesn't
let the content of the repo cause it to use arbitrary amounts of memory
(hopefully).
All I can think of is to traverse the git-annex branch and build a sqlite
database and then query that, but that would add quite a lot of setup
overhead to the command.
