I=E2=80=99ve written a special remote in Guile.  If anyone wants to do so, =
the
following file might help.  It implements the basic protocol.

https://git.ngyro.com/git-annex-remote-clouda/tree/git-annex-remote-clouda/=
remote.scm

More generally, I=E2=80=99m a fan of git-annex.  The basic idea is both goo=
d and
simple: manage content-addressed, external references in a Git repo.  My
biggest complaint is that the interface and its many features often
obscure this simplicity.
