+Apparently what happened is that whenever you want to set up git annex, you have to create just one repository, them *move* your files to a temporary folder on all your other media, *clone* the repository to the other media, and then copy all your files back to the clone and add them to git annex. This is a horrible workflow and not mentioned anywhere. If you do the intuitive thing and start by making a bunch of repos, because all repos are created equal, git annex will happily delete all your stuff on some of them.

+Indeed, as you correctly mention, this can go horribly wrong if you use direct mode and cannot recover your files. A shame, really, that direct mode is the only mode in which you actually have write and copy access to your files, and thus, for most - including myself - the only sane way of managing your files. For the record, I was able to retrieve my files, but to this day git annex is the only software I ever used that ever managed to lose my data.
