You can also add urls to any file already in the annex:
# git annex addurl --file my_cool_big_file http://example.com/cool_big_file
addurl my_cool_big_file ok
# git annex whereis my_cool_big_file

To add a lot of urls at once, just list them all as parameters to
`git annex addurl`.
If you're adding a bunch of related files to a directory, or just don't
like the default filenames generated by `addurl`, you can use `--pathdepth`
to specify how many parts of the url are put in the filename.
A positive number drops that many paths from the beginning, while a negative
number takes that many paths from the end.
