+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Calling `git annex import --force file-in-working-copy` removes `file-in-working-copy` from disk.
+
+My workflow is:
+
+1) copy the CR2 files from a card to the desired directory structure using a tool of my choice,
+2) import the created directory layout to git-annex
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
