+How should the annex:: url look for this? It needs to contain the UUID of
+the special remote (not the web special remote) because the MANIFEST key
+includes the UUID. Perhaps "annex::https://example.com/?type=web&uuid=..."

+to be URI-encoded)
 
 What should be recorded in .git/config for such a remote? I suppose the
 annex:: url and no annex-uuid. --[[Joey]]
