the git repository though, probably. Uploads and downloads would stream
through the proxy. The git-annex [[P2P_protocol]] could be relayed in this way.
## discovering UUIDS
## UUID discovery
A significant difficulty in implementing a proxy for the P2P protocol is
that each git-annex remote has a single UUID. But the remote that points at
the proxy can't just have the UUID of the proxy's repository, git-annex
needs to know that the remote can be used to access repositories with every
UUID in the cluster.

### UUID discovery via P2P protocol extension
Could the P2P protocol be extended to let the proxy communicate the UUIDs
of all the repositories behind it?

But that adds significant overhead, git-annex would be making a connection
to the proxy in situations where it is not going to use it.

### UUID discovery via git-annex branch
Could the proxy's set of UUIDs instead be recorded somewhere in the
git-annex branch?
