Just curious, what makes you want to avoid using [[`git-annex-sync`|git-annex-sync]]?  Without it you'd need to manually sync the [[git-annex branch|internals#The_git-annex_branch]], and merge it using [[`git-annex-merge`|git-annex-merge]].

\"what's the best way to get a repo's UUID\" -- [[`git-annex-info --fast`|git-annex-info]] prints it.
