+When trying to change a remote to the new rclone special remote (from `type=external externaltype=rclone`), I encountered this:
+
+```
+$ git annex enableremote halde-pcloud type=rclone 
+enableremote halde-pcloud 
+git-annex: getRemoteConfigValue externaltype found value of unexpected type PassedThrough. This is a bug in git-annex!
+CallStack (from HasCallStack):
+  error, called at ./Annex/SpecialRemote/Config.hs:192:28 in main:Annex.SpecialRemote.Config
+  getRemoteConfigValue, called at ./Remote/External.hs:920:35 in main:Remote.External
+failed
+enableremote: 1 failed
+```
+
+(The reason I tried it this way is that I didn't want to lose the encrypted files (`encryption=shared`))
