+Tried to reproduce this, following your instructions. It did not seem to work:
+
+<pre>
+joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir2>git annex get disk2
+get disk2 
+  Unable to access these remotes: origin
+
+  Try making some of these repositories available:
+  	21606444-98f9-4c40-aa60-3ebfba936758 -- origin (joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir)
+failed
+git-annex: get: 1 failed
+- exit 1
+joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir2>git annex whereis disk2
+whereis disk2 (1 copy) 
+  	21606444-98f9-4c40-aa60-3ebfba936758 -- origin (joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir)
+ok
+joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir2>
+</pre>
+
+So, not a silent failure. It is a little unclear about why it can't get the file (in this case because I moved .git/annex/objects out of the way), but it's pretty clear it can't.
+
+AFAIK, the only way `git annex get` can silently not do anything is if you already have the file locally. Perhaps you got confused? OTOH, if you can provide a better way to reproduce this, I'm curious to see it.
