-It would be nice to have a simple command that can safely turn a plain directory into a git-annex direct repository.
-
-This is the use case:
-
-* I use git-annex to manage a directory full of files, including many huge files.
-* These files are also stored in an S3 repository.
-* It takes days to download those files.
-* I have another computer with a directory that contains 80% of these files.
-* I would like to turn that directory into a git-annex repository.
-* I would like to download only the 20% missing files.
-
-What I would like to have a command that turns that directory into a direct repository without dealing with the gory details I will describe later. This command could be something like
-
-    $ cd Documents
-    $ git annex setup --direct example.org:~/annex/Documents.git
-
-This command should take care of:
-
-* cloning the git repository `example.org:~/annex/Documents.git` to `.git`,
-* switching to direct mode (carefully setting up all the needed branches),
-* create symlinks _only_ for the missing files,
-* record that the existing files are present in this repository.
-
-These are just the main problems that one faces in this task; they are mostly caused by the fact that the repo is in direct mode.
-
-There are workarounds, like those sketched at <http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/75557/init-gix-annex-additional-repo-with-existing-files>, but they are all time-consuming and fragile.
-
-> Closing since there is a documented procedure for this
-> and I don't think it can be usefully simplified to a single command. [[done]] --[[Joey]]
