Description
I am unable to `datalad get` annexed contents from a GIN repository.
See this repository for example: https://gin.g-node.org/lucasgautheron/test
```bash
(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
[INFO ] https://gin.g-node.org/lucasgautheron/test.git/config download failed: Not Found
install(ok): /Users/acristia/Documents/Lucas/data/EL1000/test/test (dataset)
(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.
