+# NAME
+
+git-annex enableremote - enables use of an existing special remote
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+git annex enableremote `name [param=value ...]`
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+Enables use of an existing special remote in the current repository,
+which may be a different repository than the one in which it was
+originally created with the initremote command.
+
+The name of the remote is the same name used when originally
+creating that remote with `git annex initremote`. Run 
+`git annex enableremote` without any name to get a list of
+special remote names.
+  
+Some special remotes may need parameters to be specified every time they are
+enabled. For example, the directory special remote requires a directory=
+parameter.
+  
+This command can also be used to modify the configuration of an existing
+special remote, by specifying new values for parameters that were
+originally set when using initremote. (However, some settings such as
+the as the encryption scheme cannot be changed once a special remote
+has been created.)
+  
+The GPG keys that an encrypted special remote is encrypted with can be
+changed using the keyid+= and keyid-= parameters. These respectively
+add and remove keys from the list. However, note that removing a key
+does NOT necessarily prevent the key's owner from accessing data
+in the encrypted special remote
+(which is by design impossible, short of deleting the remote).
+  
+One use-case of keyid-= is to replace a revoked key with
+a new key:
+  
+	git annex enableremote mys3 keyid-=revokedkey keyid+=newkey
+  
+Also, note that for encrypted special remotes using plain public-key
+encryption (encryption=pubkey), adding or removing a key has NO effect
+on files that have already been copied to the remote. Hence using
+keyid+= and keyid-= with such remotes should be used with care, and
+make little sense except in cases like the revoked key example above.
