+@gernot step 0 is to upgrade git-annex to current git, on all systems where you use it, in case that wasn't clear.

+How remote is REMOTE? If it's a directory on the same computer, then git-annex copy --to is actually quickly checking that each file is present on the remote, and when it is, skipping copying it again.
+
+If the remote is ssh, git-annex copy talks to the remote to see if it has the file. This makes copy --to slow, as Rich [[complained_before|forum/batch_check_on_remote_when_using_copy]]. :)
+
+So, copy --to does not trust location tracking information (unless --fast is specified), which means that it should be doing exactly what you want it to do in your situation -- transferring every file that is really not present in the destination repository already.
+
+Neither does copy --from, by the way. It always checks if each file is present in the current repository's annex before trying to download it.

+Remote as in \"another physical machine\". I assumed that
+
+    git annex copy --force --to REMOTE .
+
+would have not trusted the contents in the current directory (or the remote that is being copied to) and then just go off and re-download/upload all the files and overwrite what is already there. I expected the combination of *--force* and copy *--to* that it would not bother to check if the files are there or not and just copy it regardless of the outcome.

+On second thought maybe the current behaviour is better than what I am suggesting that the force command should do. I guess it's better to be safe than sorry.

+I dunno about parrallel downloads -- eek! -- but there is at least room for improvement of what \"git annex get\" does when there are multiple remotes that have a file, and the one it decides to use is not available, or very slow, or whatever.
