Currently there is no way to drop files, or list what files are available, on a special remote. It would be good if "git annex drop" and "git annex find" supported the --from argument.
I agree, drop should support --from.

To find files believed to be present in a given remote, use
git annex find --in remote
Note that it might show out of date info, since it does not actually go check the current contents of the remote. The only reason to supportfind --from
would be to always check, but I don't think that's needed. --Joey
For commands that don't support the --from argument, it would also be nice to print an error. Currently running "git annex drop --from usbdrive" doesn't behave as hoped and instead drops all content from the local annex.
This is done now. --Joey
