+Is there a way to determine the parameters that an enableremote command must use, if one does not know it? The use case is as follows:
+* Dev 1 performs an `initremote annexed-media directory=/path/to/media ...`
+* Dev 1 syncs content
+* Dev 2 comes along (or Dev 1 comes along months later with a different machine) and clones the repo, but needs to know the directory=/path... in order to 'enableremote'. Is there any way to glean this information from the source repo itself?
+
+The steps would be:
+
+dev1$ git clone git@gitserver:myproject.git && cd myproject
+dev1$ mkdir images && touch images/foo1.png
+dev1$ git annex initremote annexation.dir directory=/mnt/media/myproject.annex/ encrypted=false
+dev1$ git commit && git push && git annex sync --content
+
+<time passes >
+dev2$ git clone git@gitserver:myproject.git && cd myproject
+dev2$ git annex whereis 
+# shows something like ...
+#    whereis images/foo1.png (7 copies) ...
+#        38e67e39-7dfb-45e8-90fc-8c5d01aae0b4 -- annexation.dir
+dev2$ git annex enableremote annexation.dir directory=???
+
+So how does the new developer know how to define the annexation.dir? Is there any way to extract from the repo itself? Or must this information be saved into the repo's documentation to avoid losing the reference?
+
+Thanks!
