+I currently am using 3 repositories for my personal annex, and on each of them I'm running the assistant (they are normal git annex repositories). However all my files are migrating to my work desktop. My other two repositories seem to keep dropping them.
+
+Last night on my laptop I did a "git annex get *" to pull _all_ the files onto it. I saw in the .git/annex/daemon.log that each file was being dropped as soon as it was gotten. The output of "git annex get" showed files being transfered across, and the .git/annex/daemon.log showed files being dropped straight away. Currently I'd like to keep all my files on all my repositories (and perhaps later I'll revise that).
+
+Could someone please help me understand why annex is dropping my files, and what I could do to keep them on all my repositories?
+
+Here is the output of a get for a single file:
+
+    ~/Documents/personal-annex $ git annex get 2014/09/15/IMG_1123.JPG
