+git-remote-annex will be a program that allows push/pull of a git
+repository to any git-annex special remote.
+
+This is a redesign and reimplementation of git-remote-datalad-annex. 
+It will be a safer implementation, will support incremental pushes, and
+will be available to users who don't use datalad. 
+
+Work is in the `git-remote-annex` branch, currently we have a design for
+the core data files. 
+
+I still need to do some design work around using the git-annex branch to
+detect concurrent push situations where changes to the manifest get lost,
+and re-add those changes to it later.
+
+Also, it's not clear what will happen when two people make conflicting pushes
+to a ref, the goal would be to replicate git push to a regular git remote,
+but that may not be entirely possible. This will need to be investigated
+further.
