### Please describe the problem.

Git-Annex enableremote ignores encryption changes to a hybrid-cypher gcrypt remote. So it is not possible to add or remove keys.


### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Having a bare repo prepared do:

    git annex initremote $remotename type=gcrypt encryption=hybrid gitrepo=ssh://giessen@magierenklave.de/annex/test keyid=$myfirstkey
        initremote $remotename (encryption setup) (to gpg keys: $myfirstkey) $user@$hosts's password:
    (...)
    git annex sync $remotename
        (...)
    git annex info $remotename
        (...)
        uuid: $remoteuuid
        (...)
        encryption: hybrid (to gpg keys: $myfirstkey)
        (...)
    git config --get remote.$remotename.gcrypt-participants
        $myfirstkey

So far, so good. Now we try adding another key

    git annex enableremote $remotename keyid+=$mysecondkey
        enableremote $remotename ok

The command returns instantly, no interaction with the remote.

    git annex sync $remotename
        (...)
    git annex info $remotename
        (...)
        uuid: $remoteuuid
        (...)
        encryption: hybrid (to gpg keys: $myfirstkey)
        (...)
    git config --get remote.$remotename.gcrypt-participants
        $myfirstkey

Obviously our change had no effect. This can be verified by the repository being inaccessible to the second key.

A very hacky workaround seems to be:

    git remote remove server.test
(we need this or git will complain about the remote already existing and annex will fail)
    git annex enableremote $remoteuuid keyid+=$mysecondkey
        enableremote $remoteuuid (encryption update) (to gpg keys: $myfirstkey $mysecondkey) $user@$hosts's password:
        (...)
    git annex info $remotename
        (...)
        encryption: hybrid (to gpg keys: $myfirstkey $mysecondkey)
        (...)
    git config --get remote.$remotename.gcrypt-participants
        $myfirstkey $mysecondkey

...which yields the expected results but is somewhat counterintuitive and probably a bad abuse of enableremote.

gpg is running with -vvv so please don't mind the extra-verbose gpg-output.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Yes, definitively. I enjoy using annex to backup and manage my data. I would love to see it used more often and am currently trying to get my boss to introduce it for storage of the digital backups of our documents. While preparing an encrypted test-setup I stumbled upon this. :)

Thanks

Jörn
