+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Add two remote repositories to same server using ssh. Each directory is added to repositories list and starts syncing. 
+After both repositories are scanned click on "syncing enabled" to disable syncing for one of the two remote repositories.
+
+What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+Only remote repository which i clicked should stop syncing, but both remote repos start to stop syncing.
+Its also working the other way around (enable -> pause -> enable -> ..)
+
+What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+Version: 4.20130314, Debian
+
+Please provide any additional information below.
+
+I am an "webinterface only" user.

+Hi,
+
+I promised you a feedback, once a newer version comes out.
+
+I started fresh (from the gui), created a new directory, and copied my files over it, 
+deleted the old one (git-annex-webapp just silently quite, when I tried to use the old directory).
+
+Problems:
+> 1. each starts costs me an hour at least
+
+> 2. when computer starts git-annex starts too, and try to eat all the resources. 
+   Resulting a 10 minute bootup. Would be nice to kick in, when computer idle, 
+and others already finished booting up. (ie. I had a chance to start a webbrowser)
+
+> 3. .git objects still going. 
+find `pwd` >../gitannexstartup[TIME].txt
+
+Some results:
+gitannexstartup1034.txt
+91179
+gitannexstartup1035.txt
+91566
+gitannexstartup1040.txt
+91938
+
+    diff between 1034 and 1035 (only 1 minute difference when the file created), 
+    shows many entries like this:
+    /home/user/Desktop/down/annexnew/.git/objects/52/1ba05331f99585923f1724bb97c18a8f22837444843a45232
+    /home/user/Desktop/down/annexnew/.git/objects/52/7457c478a19f8f85c73b9f17c5640378cf307044868a45258
+
+So git objects keeps still adding. 
+As I have many duplicates in my directory 
+(backup of backups, I'm kind of paranoid, when comes to daily job), so it may be related to this bug:
+
+http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Direct_mode_keeps_re-checksuming_duplicated_files/
+
+It is just a hunch. Please tell me what else to test.

+##What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Follow the [share with a friend walkthrough](http://git-annex.branchable.com/assistant/share_with_a_friend_walkthrough/).  I use my Google Talk account to pair with myself.  With the assistant running, log in to Google Talk on the web interface and set your status 'Invisible'.
+
+##What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+I expect to remain invisible, but I get the following warning: "Oops! You are not invisible because you're logged into Google Talk from another client, device or location that doesn't support invisibility."
+
+##What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+4.20130314 on Linux.
+
+##Please provide any additional information below.
+
+Syncing between the repositories works ok.

+ date="2013-03-16T11:59:22Z"
+ content="""
+For invisibility to work, GTalk demands that every connected resource implements its \"shared status\" extension. Given that git-annex sets negative priority, this seems like a GTalk bug - it should ignore negative-priority resources when deciding whether it can be invisible - but it seems unlikely to be fixed.
+
+We implement shared status in telepathy-gabble (mostly in src/conn-presence.c, tests in tests/twisted/presence/shared-status.py) if it's any help.

+TL;DNR ssh connection caching seems to cause git-annex to not work on NTFS volumes.  Setting `annex.sshcaching` to `false` seems to solve the problem.
+
+## What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? Please provide any additional information below.
+
+* git-annex version: 3.20120629 on Debian Testing.
+* `the-repo` is located on an NTFS volume on a USB HDD.
+* `the-remote` is on the server `example.com`.
+* `example.com` is running gitolite3 v3.2-19-gb9bbb78, git 1.7.2.5, and git-annex 3.20120629~bpo60+2
+
+
+## What steps will reproduce the problem? What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+Create or clone a repo onto an NTFS volume.  
+Make sure `git annex` is initialized.  
+Run some regular git operations.  These always seem to work.  
+Try git-annex operations.  
+
+Some operations work despite the error messages:
+
+    $ git annex sync

+
+Some googling revealed the errors to be stale socket files.

+
+It appears that SSH connection caching was implemented in response to this wishlist item:  
+[wishlist: Prevent repeated password prompts for one command](http://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/wishlist:_Prevent_repeated_password_prompts_for_one_command/)
+
+However ssh connection caching breaks things on NTFS volumes.  If I turn off connection caching, it seems to work fine
+
+    $ git config annex.sshcaching false
+
+but it would be nifty if git-annex could detect the filesystem type and do The Right Thing.
+
+Thanks for all the work on git-annex -- it's an awesome project!
