+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I am trying to drop a file from a special, hybrid encryption remote. It says "failed", but I cannot figure out why, the commands in --debug all seem to exit with ExitSuccess.

+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Not sure how to reproduce from scratch, see log below for what happens when I do
+git annex drop file -f specialremote ...

+Newbie question. I decided to use git-annex for backing up my raw photo archive to a remote server. I was a bit pressed for time when I did this and did not really have time to learn about git-annex enough to do this in the correct way. I ended up creating a local repository with all my photos and then I simply copied this (using the ordinary system copy command) to an external drive that is now connected to a raspberry pi at my parents house (in another city) which I connect to through ssh. So the local repository and the "remote" are identical with the same name, description and uuid and everything. Is it possible to convert the "remote" repository (clone) to a "proper" git-annex remote? Can I just change the name or reinitialize the remote or something like that? This would definitely save a lot of time and hazzle since all the data is already there. Or am I better off just biting the bullet and create a new remote from scratch and sync the content from my local repository (600 Gb) over the Internet?
+Thanks!
+/David

+joey, thanks for answering my questions. I have put together a bash script to check my understanding of how the different encryption methods work. The script is below. With it, I am able to generate the encrypted keys for items for `hybrid` and `shared` encrypted `directory` remotes and to decrypt items for `hybrid`, `shared`, and `pubkey` encrypted `directory` remotes (and presumably other special remotes but I tested with `directory` remotes since those were simplest). The only thing I have not been able to get to work is the generation of the encrypted item keys for `pubkey` remotes. Do you see what I am doing wrong for that case? Once I figure that out, I can make a tip entry on the wiki with the script.

+Dear git-annex community, I've just installed git-annex on my CyanogenMod phone. What I'd like to do is to synchronize my music folder from my desktop to my phone. I.e. I'm using [sshelper](http://arachnoid.com/android/SSHelper/index.html) to start OpenSSH server on the phone. The question is, how can I make git and git-annex available to SSHelper's shell so that I can git push to the phone?
