When using git-annex in a distributed fashion (lots of repos everywhere) It is easy to lose track of which remotes has a particular repo and enable it. Currently I have to run git annex info and see which remotes are available then add them through the webapp. Would it be possible to make webapp show all repos not just the ones it is syncing give an option to enable it.
I chose to make the webapp only show available remotes when it knows how to enable them. So it will show S3 special remotes, Box.com special remotes, etc. This avoids cluttering up the display of a shared repository with a list of all of your friend's removable drives, for example.
I would like to make the webapp smarter about handling repositories on remote ssh servers. As long as the server name is in the global DNS, the webapp could easily walk the user through setting up such a remote. The missing piece is that nothing is logged in remotes.log for these remotes, and so the assistant doesn't know the server name.
