+I would like to discover how much data is stored in a special remote across repositories. But it might take annex many minutes to figure out other stats like size of the files in the tree etc, which I do not care. So I wondered if for e.g.
+
+```
+(venv-annex) dandi@drogon:/mnt/backup/dandi/dandisets$ git -C 000003 annex info --in dandi-dandisets-dropbox

+
+I could just (quickly) get
+
+```
+untrusted repositories:

+```
+
+with `--json` also correspondingly trimmed up. Or it could potentially be a different record output entirely, concentrating on that remote?
