+I see no use case for verifying encrypted object files w/o access to the encryption key. And possible use cases for not allowing anyone to verify your data.
+
+If there are to be multiple encryption keys usable within a single encrypted remote, than they would need to be given some kind of name (a since symmetric key is used, there is no pubkey to provide a name), and the name encoded in the files stored in the remote. While certainly doable I'm not sold that adding a layer of indirection is worthwhile. It only seems it would be worthwhile if setting up a new encrypted remote was expensive to do. Perhaps that could be the case for some type of remote other than S3 buckets.

+Assuming you're storing your encrypted annex with me and I with you, our regular cron jobs to verify all data will catch corruption in each other's annexes.
+
+Checksums of the encrypted objects could be optional, mitigating any potential attack scenarios.
+
+It's not only about the cost of setting up new remotes. It would also be a way to keep data in one annex while making it accessible only in a subset of them. For example, I might need some private letters at work, but I don't want my work machine to be able to access them all.

+
+OK, I'll try increasing the stack size and see if that helps.
+
+For reference, I was running:
+
+git annex add .
+
+on a directory containing about 100k files spread over many nested subdirectories. I actually have more than a dozen projects like this that I plan to keep in git annex, possibly in separate repositories if necessary. I could probably tar the data and then archive that, but I like the idea of being able to see the structure of my data even though the contents of the files are on a different machine.
+
+After the crash, running:
+
+git annex unannex
+
+does nothing and returns instantly. What exactly is 'git annex add' doing? I know that it's moving files into the key-value store and adding symlinks, but I don't know what else it does.

+No-so-subtle sarcasm taken and acknowledged :)
+
+Arguably, git-annex should know about any local limits and not have them implemented via mr from the outside. I guess my concern boils down to having git-annex do the right thing all by itself with minimal user interaction. And while I really do appreciate the flexibility of chaining commands, I am a firm believer in exposing the common use cases as easily as possible.
+
+And yes, I am fully aware that not all annexes are created equal. Point in case, I would never use git annex pull on my laptop, but I would git annex push extensively.
