Cannot get annexed data over https ?

[lucasgautheron]

I am unable to datalad get annexed contents from a GIN repository.

See this repository for example: https://gin.g-node.org/lucasgautheron/test

(base) alejandrinas-MacBook-Air:test acristia$ datalad install https://gin.g-node.org/lucasgautheron/test.git
[INFO   ] Remote origin not usable by git-annex; setting annex-ignore

(base) alejandrinas-MacBook-Air:test acristia$ cd test
(base) alejandrinas-MacBook-Air:test acristia$ datalad get annexed_content 
get(error): annexed_content (file) [not available; (Note that these git remotes have annex-ignore set: origin)]                                                                                             
(base) alejandrinas-MacBook-Air:test acristia$ 

Is this a limitation of git-annex, a limitation of GIN, or something else?
It is especially important for us to download data over https, since the french supercomputer Jean Zay won't allow cloning over ssh.

@lucasgautheron For some reason, the .git suffix tells datalad (or git annex) that the remote should be considered git-only. I was able to work with this as follows:

$ datalad install https://gin.g-node.org/lucasgautheron/test
install(ok): /home/chris/tmp2/test (dataset)
$ cd test
$ datalad get annexed_content
get(ok): annexed_content (file) [from origin...]

for those who'll land here with the same issue, note that this behavior is referenced in DataLad manual : https://handbook.datalad.org/en/latest/basics/101-139-gin.html#sharing-and-accessing-the-dataset
