+Is there any chance a special remote that functions like a hybrid of 'web' and 'hook'?
+At least in theory, it should be relatively simple, since it would only support 'get' and the only meaningful parameters to pass would be the URL and the output file name.
+
+Maybe make it something like git config annex.<foo>-webhook '<program> $ANNEX_URL $ANNEX_FILE', and fetching could work by adding a --handler or --type parameter to addurl.
