+Hello,
+
+I'm using the git-annex assistant (in Mac Mavericks) and I'm trying to create a new remote rsync repo, I have the details and everything but I can't do it over ssh, I need the call to use rsync otherwise I get: **This account is restricted by rssh. Allowed commands: scp rsync ** . Can this be changed manually? How can I create a remote rsync repo?
+
+Thanks

+as a workaround, you could make a bash alias for `ls -l` -> `ls -lL`. the problem with this is that links to other links are fully dereferenced.
+
+what looks like this in a non-git-annex directory with `ls -lh`:
+
+    total 3.8M
+    -rw-r--r-- 1 sudoman sudoman 3.8M Sep 29 13:56 42x3551_02.pdf

+looks like this in an indirect git annex repo with `ls -lhL`:
+
+    total 7.5M
+    -r--r--r-- 1 sudoman sudoman 3.8M Sep 29 13:56 42x3551_02.pdf
+    -r--r--r-- 1 sudoman sudoman 3.8M Sep 29 13:56 tmp
+
+
+the ls alias is a bit hackish, but for some purposes it's an improvement.
+
+rsync may work as desired when using a command like `rsync -l --safe-links` (haven't tried it. users might want to experiment by adding `--exclude` to that command.)
+
+
+a potential solution for ls (and cp) could be the inclusion of a patched version under `git annex util ls`. writing shim programs using `LD_PRELOAD` instead of patching may drastically reduce the amount of code needing future security updates.

+I'm using git-annex to sync my photos across multiple computers, and it works beautifully. I would also like to sync Lightroom catalogues. The photo editing program creates a *.lrdata directory where it stores the edits in its own tree format. Merging two such directories obviously creates a mess. 
+
+Is there an elegant way to tell git-annex to treat the whole directory as a single file and overwrite the whole directory structure at once? I'm guessing the same problem occurs with mac os packages.
+
+Many thanks!
+Alex

+Hi!
+
+I have a somewhat interesting use case. My course notes require HTTP authentication. This is possible with wget, but is there any way to make git annex do it?
+
+[wget authentication stuff!](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4272770/wget-with-authentication)
+
+It would be nice to have the user and pass encrypted with GPG too. This might be a strange use case, but I can see other people wanting to do something like this in the future.
+
+Thanks!

+For urls using http basic auth, you can use the standard url form, http://username:password@example.org/url/ , which should work with `git annex addurl`. The url, including the password, will be stored in the git-annex branch though. If you want to protect the password from being exposed to anyone who gets a clone of the repository, just download manually, and then `git annex add` the file.
