+### Please describe the problem.
+
+git uses environment variable GIT_SSH to determine SSH client.
+
+I set it to plink.exe because I extensively use pageant infrastructure and do NOT want to have 2 systems lying around.
+
+Unfortunately git-annex seems to ignore that.
+
+Even worse, it results in unpredicted behavior because the git part works (e.g. clone) whereas annex/rsync does not resulting in half-ok repositories without meaningful error messages.
+
+It only becomes evident when ssh.exe in the git repository is deleted.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Set %GIT_SSH% and remove ssh.exe
+
+You will get
+
+     git-annex: ssh: createProcess: does not exist (No such file or directory)
+     failed
+     git-annex: drop: 1 failed
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

 But that's not true, git-annex is definitely installed on the server (it's just the Debian package and it resides in /usr/bin/git-annex). In any case, the client repository is still empty
 
+EDIT3: Struggle, struggle, ...
+
+Finally, for whatever reason, the client dir is not empty. What seems to be missing on the server was:
+
+     git annex sync
+
+but this is never written (also not in the walkthrough). Can anyone tell me if it's required and why?
+
+Furthermore, even that I "see" at least the file references now, I am not able to get them:
+
+     $ git annex get apps
+     get apps/gitignore (not available)
+       Try making some of these repositories available:
+             10d0ffd8-f499-4b55-83e6-ff58cd98edc5 -- server
+     
+       (Note that these git remotes have annex-ignore set: origin)
+     failed
+     git-annex: get: 1 failed
+
+That's an SSH remote, it *is* available! What is meant by that?
