How do I recover a special remote from a clone, please? I see that `remote.log` has most of the details, but my remote is not configured on my clone and I see no obvious way to do it. And I used `embedcreds`, but the only credentials I can see are stored in .git/annex/creds/ so did not survive a clone. I'm confused because the documentation here for `embedcreds` says that clones should have access.

As a workaround, it looks like copying the remote over from `.git/config` as well as the credentials from `.git/annex/creds/` seems to work. Is there some other way I'm supposed to do this, or is this the intended way?
