+It's quite possible that I have started the assistant (on the armhf machine) or the webapp (on the amd64 machine) in one of the subfolders, so yes it looks like that specific bug hit me.
+
+Having looked at the logs, I'm pretty sure that the removal of the original directory was caused by removing the suddenly occuring \"mirror\" folders in a subdirectory.
+***
+Reverting proves to be difficult. I created a full copy of the git-annex repo and switched to indirect mode. There are around 500 commits that need to be reverted and about 6 of them are merges which I haven't been able to revert. I have only reverted the non-merge commits and after going back to direct mode there are now around 200 broken symlinks. I'm now assuming that those 200 are the ones that are lost and I need to restore from a backup. Can I rely on that? It's extremely difficult for me to do a full check.
+***
+How should I proceed to get this repo (after further repairs) again in sync with the second repo and have the second repo adopt the \"repaired\" state?
