 The proposed `--to=remote` option would add the files to my repo as `import` normally does, but it wouldn't every keep the content in the repo, the only copy would now sit in `s3-remote`. As little disk space as possible would be staged temporarily in `~/my-laptop-repo`. Perhaps the easiest option would be to import a file normally, but them immediately do a `move` to `s3-remote`? But, ideally for larger files, we would want to stream them directly from `/mnt/usb-drive/myfiles` to `s3-remote` without ever staging them at `~/my-laptop-repo`.

+It's now possible to `git-annex import --no-content --from
+a-directory-special-remote`. So then you have the files sitting on the
+external drive and not filling up the git repository.
+
+And `git-annex copy --from foo --to bar` is also supported, so you can
+use that to send the files over the S3 or wherever.
+
+So, I think this todo can be closed.
