+
+	git annex export --tracking master --to myexport

+That ties in nicely with `git annex sync`:
+
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/a> echo hello > foo
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/a> git annex add
+	add foo ok
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/a> git annex sync --content
+	commit

+	ok
+	export myexport foo 
+	ok                          
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/bench/a> git mv foo bar
