The documentation for the new import remote command says, "Importing from a special remote first downloads all new content from it". For many special remotes -- such as Google Cloud Storage or DNAnexus -- checksums and sizes of files can be determined without downloading the files. For other special remotes, data files might have associated checksum files (e.g. md5) stored next to them in the remote. In such cases, it would help to be able to import the files without downloading (which can be costly, especially from cloud provider egress charges), similar to addurl --fast .

implemented, directory remote only, but it could be added to adb easily,
and possibly to S3. Also added it to the proposed import extension to the
external special remote protocol.
Still unsure what to do about git-annex sync without --content importing.
For now, sync doesn't do content-less imports still, but that could be
changed if the concerns in comment #6 are dealt with.
