7. Instruct advanced users to clone a http url that ends with the "/.git/"
directory. For example, for downloads.kitenet.net, the clone url
is `https://downloads.kitenet.net/.git/`
+8. Set up a git `post-receive` hook that runs `git annex merge`, and
+ the repository's working tree will automatically be updated when
+ you run `git annex sync` in a clone that can push to the repository.
+ (Needs git-annex version 4.20130703 or newer; older versions
+ can use `git annex sync` in the post-receive hook instead.)
When users clone over http, and run git-annex, it will
automatically learn all about your repository and be able to download files
right out of it, also using http.
