+I think the problem in my case is that I had special characters in some file names which fat does not support.
+
+I tried to recover the git annex repo in direct mode using these steps:
+<pre>
+git push --force n900 master 
+git checkout synced/master
+git push --force n900 synced/master 
+git checkout master
+git annex unlock flac/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/
+mv flac/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/03.Less_Than_Zero_\(\<0\).flac flac/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/03.Less_Than_Zero.flac
+git annex add flac/
+git commit -m \"Work around broken file systems\"
+git push --force n900 master 
+git checkout synced/master
+git push --force n900 synced/master 
+git checkout master
+git annex sync n900
+</pre>
+
+But now the last git annex sync creates a merge commit which only contains \"variants\" of the renamed files:
+
+<pre>
+    Merge remote-tracking branch 'refs/remotes/origin/synced/master' into annex/direct/master
+    
+    # Conflicts:
+    #	flac/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/03.Less_Than_Zero.flac
+    #	mp3/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/03.Less_Than_Zero.mp3
+
+ flac/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/03.Less_Than_Zero.variant-6467.flac 
+index 0000000,c33ca87..c33ca87
+mode 000000,120000..120000
+
+ mp3/Type_O_Negative/2003_Life_Is_Killing_Me/03.Less_Than_Zero.variant-562b.mp3 
+index 0000000,a247fc6..a247fc6
+mode 000000,120000..120000
+</pre>
+
+So the repo on n900 still does not contain all the files added since the last sync (git annex get fails for those files). At least now the sync does not delete files in my laptop repo any more.
+
+This is the current state:
+
+<pre>
+*   44dd9a8 (n900/annex/direct/master) Merge remote-tracking branch 'refs/remotes/origin/synced/master' into annex/direct/master
+|\
