+### Please describe the problem.
+On a Windows machine, I try to drop some files from an annex. These files exist in the origin annex. However, the drop fails, claiming it can't verify the existence of the remote copies.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+1. Create annex, serve git repo over HTTP.
+2. clone repo. "git annex get ."
+3. "git annex drop <file>". This will fail.
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+Windows:  4.20130709-gea6fdc7
+Debian: 3.20120629
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
