A special remote will be listed in uuid.log, with a type other than gcrypt or git. Any other uuid, that is not dead, can count as 1 clone. This does not handle git remotes that are not using git-annex (eg github), so it could also look through the git remote list and count any that don't have an annex-uuid. |
