* files are imported recursively into the directory you call `git-annex import` from
* What happens if two files with same basenames but different contents are imported from different paths: git-annex will skip importing these files unless you specify --force
* When you import a directory, does this recursively import the full tree under it?: yes
* Also, just to note, the command name may be confusing to users, because (5) it deletes the original files by default, which most import commands do not do: see discussion here: <http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Importing__95__Commands__95__Destructive__95__by__95__default/>
* it is unrelated to git-annex-export: the intent is for it to eventually be related to export, see TODO here: <http://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/import_tree/>
And I don't know about your `--batch` question.
With your `import a file into the annex only, without creating a symlink to it from the working copy` question:
You could do:
git annex calckey path-of-file-not-in-repo
git annex setkey key-from-previous-command path-of-file-not-in-repo
But perhaps if this is generally useful there could be a `git annex reinject --unknown` command added to git-annex, or a `--import-keys-only` command added to `import`.
