+Well, working with git annex, you should think of two things:
+
+1. location of annex information (git commit tree), let's call it INFO
+2. location of files contents, let's call it CONTENT
+
+So, for your sneekernet scenario these general steps are required:
+
+1. sync INFO between Laptop A and USB
+2. transfer required CONTENT from LAPTOP A to USB
+3. sync INFO between Laptop B and USB
+4. transfer required CONTENT from USB to Laptop B
+
+Let's describe your options on every step:
+
+1. issue `git annex sync` on Laptop A. Either from within USB or Laptop repo, I prefer Laptop because of automatic commit.
+2. 
+   * issue `git annex copy <files> --to=<usb-remote-name>` from within Laptop A repo
+   * issue `git annex get <files>` from within USB repo. This is not possible if you have bare repo on USB.
+3. issue `git annex sync` on Laptop B
+4. same as 2, but transfer to Laptop B
+
+Also, using `git annex sync --content`, you don't need to manually transfer CONTENT, see [--content](https://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex-sync/). But in this case you somewhat loose control of what is transferred.
+
+If you make changes on both laptops at the same time no extra steps required. In case of conflict both versions saved in working directory, see [automatic conflict resolution](http://git-annex.branchable.com/automatic_conflict_resolution/).
