If you are starting from nothing (no existing `git` or `git-annex` repository) and want to use a server as a centralised repository, try the following steps.
On the server where you'll hold the "master" repository:
server$ cd /one/git
server$ mkdir m
server$ cd m
server$ git init --bare
Initialized empty Git repository in /one/git/m/
server$ git annex init origin
init origin ok
server$
Clone that to the laptop:
laptop$ cd /other
laptop$ git clone ssh://server//one/git/m
Cloning into 'm'...

laptop$ cd m
laptop$ git annex init laptop
init laptop ok
laptop$
Merge the `git-annex` repository (this is the bit that is often
overlooked!):
laptop$ git annex merge
merge . (merging "origin/git-annex" into git-annex...)
ok
laptop$
Add some content:
laptop$ git annex addurl http://kitenet.net/~joey/screencasts/git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg
"kitenet.net_~joey_screencasts_git-annex_coding_in_haskell.ogg"

All fine, now push it back to the centralised master:
laptop$ git push

You can add more "client" repositories by following the `laptop`
sequence of operations.
