Thanks for the suggestion Joey, I found a way to make the web remotes work for adding the files from existing discs. I wound up adding a symlink farm to the repo with a link for each disk pointing at the mount point. This way when I try to retrieve a file, I see the URL which contains the name of the disc:
$ git annex get bigfile.bin
get bigfile.bin (from web...)
curl: (37) Couldn't open file /var/tmp/repo/storage/dvd13/bigfile.bin
Unable to access these remotes: web
Try making some of these repositories available:
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
failed
git-annex: get: 1 failed
It took me a while as the version of git-annex in portage was rather old and I just didn't get around to updating git-annex on Gentoo for while. If anybody wants to get git-annex 3.20121112 running under Gentoo I detailed the process I used at <http://git-annex.mysteryvortex.com>
Now I'll have to try out the assistant! (Though I didn't get the webapp to compile due to a shakespeare-js error)
