I’ve written a special remote in Guile. If anyone wants to do so, the following file might help. It implements the basic protocol. https://git.ngyro.com/git-annex-remote-clouda/tree/git-annex-remote-clouda/remote.scm More generally, I’m a fan of git-annex. The basic idea is both good and simple: manage content-addressed, external references in a Git repo. My biggest complaint is that the interface and its many features often obscure this simplicity. -- Tim
