Note that the part after the -- here is just a description, and can be
any free-form text. Even if it's kept at the default which happens to
have the same form as a git ssh remote url, there's no guarantee that
the hostname is right from the perspective of the host that wants to add
this remote.

Recent versions of git-annex have a hidden feature that's used by the
webapp. The url of an existing git remote can be stored:

git annex initremote albatross type=git location=madduck at albatross:~/family/veronika/photos

And then the same git remote can be set up elsewhere, using that stored
url:

git annex enableremote albatross

But, that is not very flexible or easy to use -- it was really
only added for a specific use case in the webapp.

I use mr to set up remotes.
