+I would like to get available the access to the annex of my repository as remote with rsync protocol (read only).
+The idea is not to have a redundant copy of the annex but to add an other option to connect to the annex.
+
+If I create an rsync remote I obtain something like
+	00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
+ 	00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000002 -- bittorrent
+ 	044cf7ac-d2b1-4f84-8bbc-747ac4659c8f -- rsync
+ 	a0e14705-ef07-4b8a-9a00-8724fd936a91 -- origin /my-repo/.git/annex
+The remote "rsync" points to the same location of the annex /my-repo/.git/annex
+If I add a file
+   git annex add file1
+and then I check where it is available
+   git annex whereis file 1
+I obtain that it is not available on 'rsync'
+
+Therefore if someone has a copy of the repository, without access to the origin annex,
+there is no way to use the additional access through 'rsync'
+
+What is the right way to configure the 'rsync' remote in such a way behave like an alias for the origin annex?
