### Please describe the problem. The S3 remote does not support Google Cloud Storage buckets with the Durable Reduced Availability or Nearline storage classes. These are less-expensive alternatives to the Standard storage class, which would otherwise be a good fit for git-annex. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. `git annex initremote cloud type=S3 encryption=none host=storage.googleapis.com bucket=storage-class-test storageclass=NEARLINE` 2. Observe that the bucket is created with Standard storage class. or, 1. Use Cloud Storage web interface to create the `storage-class-test` bucket with Nearline storage class. 2. `git annex -d initremote cloud type=S3 encryption=none host=storage.googleapis.com bucket=storage-class-test storageclass=NEARLINE` 2. Observe failure shown below. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 5.20150528, Fedora 22 ### Please provide any additional information below. Google Cloud Storage applies the storage class per-bucket rather than per-object. As a result there are two separate problems: 1. If git-annex creates the bucket, there is no way to get it to pass the `StorageClass` XML element in the PUT Bucket operation (see e.g. [here](https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/nearline#create), the "XML API" tab). 2. If the bucket is manually created by the user, subsequent PUT Object operations explicitly pass an `x-amz-storage-class` of `STANDARD` (or `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`). Since this is incompatible with the storage class of the bucket, Google Cloud Storage returns `InvalidArgument`. Example of the second problem: [[!format sh """ $ git annex -d initremote cloud type=S3 encryption=none host=storage.googleapis.com bucket=storage-class-test storageclass=NEARLINE [2015-05-31 17:38:21 EDT] read: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","show-ref","git-annex"] [2015-05-31 17:38:21 EDT] read: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","show-ref","--hash","refs/heads/git-annex"] [2015-05-31 17:38:21 EDT] read: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","log","refs/heads/git-annex..417a5e8880eb22fa5288056f4f4e5d998e64a3e6","-n1","--pretty=%H"] [2015-05-31 17:38:21 EDT] chat: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","cat-file","--batch"] initremote cloud (checking bucket...)
