I need the repository to be synced to something like `/mnt/usb/subfolder/myspecifiedfoldername` and I need that remote to be a full repository. + +My use case is that I use the USB drive to keep annexes in sync between two computers. I have multiple annexes that need to be synced between the two computers, and none of them are in a directory called `annex`. I also need to be able to plug the drive into other computers and access the files directly, without doing a `git clone` or anything like that. I have all of this setup and working fine with just plain old git annex, but the web app does not seem to support creating new repositories with this workflow. + +I think it makes a lot of sense to allow the web application to add a new remote that is simply a directory. People like me could specify the path of the directory to be on the mounted USB drive. Others may want to add a remote that is a mounted network share or something like that. |
