I could easily add support for enableremote with readonly=yes, and have it not use the external program at all, just hit the urls previously registered with SETURLPRESENT. The git-annex branch would bloat some if a remote works this way, but if the urls consist mostly of some fixed strings, and the key, then git should pack those pretty efficiently. """]]
