+git-annex extends git's usual remotes with some [[special_remotes]], that
+are not git repositories. This way you can set up a remote using say,
+Amazon S3, and use git-annex to transfer files into the cloud.
+
+ # git config remote.mys3.annex-s3-bucket myannex
+ # export ANNEX_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID="08TJMT99S3511WOZEP91"
+ # export ANNEX_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY="s3kr1t"
+ # git annex copy my_cool_big_file --to mys3
+ copy my_cool_big_file (to mys3...) ok
+ # git annex move video/hackity_hack_and_kaxxt.mov --to mys3
+ move video/hackity_hack_and_kaxxt.mov (to mys3...) ok
+
+An Amazon S3 remote works just like a ssh remote, except it does not have
+a git repository at the other end, and it costs you money. :) For full
+details about setting them up, see [[special_remotes]].
