Just passing along from https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/77#issuecomment-134688459
joey: I do think there could be a use case for configuring a special remote with autoenable=true and have git-annex init try to enable all such remotes.
> [[done]], I made both `git init` and `git annex reinit` auto-enable
> such special remotes. For now, the assistant does not (could change).

> `git annex find`'s output to include any messages that might be shown while
> auto-enabling special remotes as a result of an auto-init.
> Since I can't guarantee enabling special remotes will be quiet, I've not
> tried to auto-enable special remotes in this case.
