 * Ssh connection caching does not work on Windows, so `git annex get`
   has to connect twice to the remote system over ssh per file, which
   is much slower than on systems supporting connection caching.
+* The test suite does not 100% pass, although it seems to be getting
+  quite close! Current known failures:
+  * unannex test fails, but only around 50% or less of the time,
+    while updating the .map file. Renaming the new file into place fails
+    with permission denied. Possibly something else has the file
+    open?
+  * "conflict_resolution (mixed directory and file)" test fails;
+    not because the conflict resolution fails, but the sync fails
+    pushing to synced/master with a non-fast-forward failure.
+  * Some tests fail if git has not had the username and email configured.
+    This is odd because the test suite goes to some lengths to
+    get env vars set to prevent this problem.
 * `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete
   and/or buggy.
 * Doesn't daemonize. Maybe use
