+`git annex export` corresponding to import. This might be useful for eg,
+datalad. There are some requests to make eg a S3 bucket mirror the
+filenames in the git annex repository, which seem out of scope, but
+something simpler like this could be worth doing.
+
+`git annex export --to remote files` would copy the files to the remote,
+using the names in the working tree. For remotes like S3, it could add the
+url of the exported file, so that another clone of the repo could use the
+exported data.
+
+Would this be able to reuse the existing `storeKey` interface, or would
+there need to be a new interface in supported remotes?
