Adding an encrypted remote works (mind \":~/\"): 

    > git remote add encrypted gcrypt::ssh://git@gitlab.com:~/gitlabname/reponame.git
    > git push encrypted master
    gcrypt: Repository not found: ssh://git@gitlab.com:~/gitlabname/reponame.git
    gcrypt: Setting up new repository
    gcrypt: Remote ID is :id:abcdefghijklmnopqrst
    Counting objects: 53, done.
    Compressing objects: 100% (52/52), done.
    Total 53 (delta 12), reused 0 (delta 0)
    gcrypt: Encrypting to: --throw-keyids --default-recipient-self
    gcrypt: Requesting manifest signature
    ...
    To gcrypt::ssh://git@gitlab.com:~/gitlabname/reponame.git
     * [new branch]      master -> master
    >

However, git-annex then fails: 

    >  git annex sync
    git-annex: bad url ssh://git@gitlab.com:~/gitlabname/reponame.git

Should the encrypted repository be configured or added in a different way? Sorry, did not find it so easy to set up.
