I noticed that, using just the man pages, there is no real description of what backends are, or what ones are available. Except for some examples. Added a git-annex-backends man page, that is just a stub, but at least describes what they basically are, and tells how to find the supported ons, and links to the backends web page.

# NAME
|
|
|
|
git-annex-backends - key/value backends for git-annex
|
|
|
|
# DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
The "backend" in git-annex controls how a key is generated from a file's
|
|
content and/or filesystem metadata. Most backends are different kinds of
|
|
hashes. A single repository can use different backends for different files.
|
|
|
|
For a list of available backends, see `git-annex version`. For more
|
|
details, see <https://git-annex.branchable.com/backends/>
