Hello,
IMHO the description of the special remotes at https://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/ is misleading:
> But, git-annex also extends git's concept of remotes, with these special types of remotes. These can be used just like any normal remote by git-annex. They cannot be used by other git commands though.
AFAIK (and just tested it with a webdav remote), a special remote can not be used to transfer tracking information, only content. So that, in order to connect to repos that can not talk to each other, a special remote is not sufficient. You additionally need a ordinary git repo to transfer the tracking information.
* Is that correct? Is there a way to use a special remote to transfer tracking information? (would love that!)
The description above sounds for me, as I can simply use a special remote like a normal remote, which is not the case.
Just a documentation improvement suggestions.
Best Thanks,
Florian

Another small thing, at <https://git-annex.branchable.com/special_remotes/rsync/> I think `annex-rsync-transport` should be `annex.rsync-transport`. At least for me, it only worked that way.

I see that `annex.thin` doesn't support FAT. What's the best option to save disk space when you *are* using FAT? I'm currently trying to put files that are more than 50% of a drive's size on that drive, with a v7 repository. Is that possible?
