+@Michael, like I said above, this use case is completely supported. That's why git-annex uses UUIDs to uniquely identify repositories, no matter where or how many urls are used for them.
+
+Just set up the remotes you need, and if they end up pointing to the same repository by different routes, git-annex will automatically notice.
+
+---
+
+The directory= parameter used when initializing a directory remote is only used to set up the remote in the .git/config file. It is not stored anywhere else, since the directory could be mounted at different locations on different computers, eg when a drive is moved between computers.
