I am investigating how to create special remotes using the library Lykos153 / AnnexRemote. I have copied [this file](https://github.com/Lykos153/AnnexRemote/blob/master/examples/git-annex-remote-directory) locally, renamed it, set it up as needed, but can not initialise a remote with it.
I get this:
git annex initremote foo type=external externaltype=precomp encryption=none folder=/z/old/1111
initremote foo
git-annex: Unexpected parameters: folder
failed
git-annex: initremote: 1 failed
The order of the arguments make no difference. Do I need to somehow register parameters now, that was not required before? Or something else?

1. What is the advantage of a separate `VERIFYCONTENT` request, vs calling `GENKEY` and comparing the result?
2. Can the protocol specify that the file passed to `GENKEY` may be a named pipe? Or, add a `CANPIPE` request where the external backend program tells git-annex that it can take pipes; if the program can't, git-annex can always drain the pipe to a tempfile before passing it to the program.
3. \"While stderr is connected to the console and so visible to the user, the program should avoid using it\" -- then maybe add `DEBUG` and `INFO` requests as in the [[design/external_special_remote_protocol]]?
