+### Please describe the problem.
+
+On my bare git-annex repo, `git annex fsck -q` reports:
+
+ ** No known copies exist of SHA256E-s1212237--d2edd369f6a9005e23f022c7d797b166c66b90defc561329dbafab9a0fc0c7fc.jpg
+
+`git log -SSA256E...` returns nothing. `git annex repair` and `git annex forget` do not fix the problem.
+
+This means that running `fsck` from cron or a script will now always fail. There should be a way to recover from this situation.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+According to IRC this "can happen if you annexed a file and then deleted it without ever committing to git".
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20140717 from Ubuntu utopic
