Especially since no complete solution is available and it's well beyond the scope of a manpage for git-annex-shell to document such a solution. It seems to me that allowing untrusted people to push to the git-annex branch is asking for various mischeif. One that comes to mind is they can add a repository, configure it to be trusted, and make git-annex think it has a copy of all content. Combined with preferred content settings this could make git-annex drop the only actual copy of content. """]]
