+### Please describe the problem.
+Files transferred from one repository to a standard remote by the assistant do not retain the original mtime
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Create manually two repositories, in my case on two external drives directly connected to my box, with normal remotes pointing to each other.
+Activate git annex assistant and synchronize some files from one to the other.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+Git annex version 5.20140610-g5ec8bcf on Ubuntu Linux 12.04
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+I've noticed how files synchronized from one repository to another do not retain the original mtime information.
+Perhaps it's intended, but in my view retaining the time of modification of the object is essential.

+I've noticed how, when files are synchronized/transferred from one repository (annex?) to another by the assistant, the files in the «remote» repository do no retain the modification time of the original files.
+From what I know git does not save file-specific metadata (ownership/timestamps/etc.).
+Since I've just started using git-annex, and I'd very much like for backup copies to retain the mtime of the originals, I would like to ask whether I am experiencing a malfunction or whether this is expected behaviour.
+
+Regards

+Hi,
+
+Is it possible to have git-annex send requests across the repository network? Say I have a network topology like this:  
+Home (annex) <-> Cloud (S3) <-> Laptop (annex)  
+
+Home has all files, cloud has zero, and laptop has subset of files. Let's also assume Laptop can't talk to Home directly (maybe it's behind a NAT), but both Home and Laptop are connected to the internet.  
+If I'm away on my laptop, can I retrieve a file from Home "through" Cloud?
+
+That is, Laptop checking its remotes and none of them have the file I want, so it checks remotes of remotes, etc. I'm not sure if git-annex knows the topology (seems likely considering it can generate the graphviz image). It also seems there is a communication medium of Jabber/XMPP where it could communicate between internet-connected git-annex servers (which might not otherwise be able to talk to each other directly)? So the fact that Cloud isn't a git-annex server, just a dumb key/value store would be okay?
+
+I realize that I could set it up so Home mirrors everything to Cloud and then that eventually mirrors over to Laptop, but let's assume both Cloud and Laptop have small storage capacities, so on-demand fetching would be needed.
+
+This is basically the same usecase as the USB transfer drive to sync two annexes not on the same network, but automated.
+
+Thanks!

+For some podcast feeds I typically wish to view the description of the show before I decide to download it or not. Is there some way to perform that use case using git annex? I know `itemdescription` is something I can include in the template for the filename, but the descriptions can be really long... doesn't seem very elegant to have that in the file name. Could the description for example be included as metadata of the item?
