+Ooops, the formatting got all messed up. Here it is again:
+
+I am confused by the differences in the time between updates of different
+repositories in the same machines and of the same repository in different
+machines. I am using the assistant (in all machines, 
+'git annex assitant --autostart').
+
+
+
+For instance, I have three machines synced as
+
+A <-> B <-> C
+
+and I have two directories being synced. The configuration (except for
+directory names) is the same and looks like
+
+
+
+    [annex]
+            uuid = something
+            version = 5
+            direct = true
+            autoupgrade = true
+            autocommit = true
+            startupscan = true
+    [remote \"machine_repo\"]
+            url = ssh://xxxxxx/~/repo/
+            fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/machine_repo/*
+            annex-uuid = xxxxxxxxxxxxx
+    
+
+
+
+I modify or add a file in one of the directories in A, and it quickly
+(less than 30 seconds) appears in B and shortly after that in C.
+
+In another directory, however, more than 30 minutes can go by without C
+ever changing (even if B gets the change almost immediately). Looking at
+the logs I cannot understand what is happening. This is the case of a
+file, ```A_sentinel_file_A ```, created at 01:46.
+
+In B (where it appears almost immediately)  I can see

+
+Why did Machine C did not show the updated file at 01:47, which is when, I
+think, machine B pushes it there? Or at 02:17 when both machines again
+seem to talk to each other? Regardless, at 02:27 the file still was not
+there. Yes, of course, if I issue a
+
+```
+    git annex sync --content
+```
+
+then the file is shown in Machine C. But I should not need to do that.
+
+
+
+In contrast, as I said, there is another directory, with identical
+configuration, where these things do not happen and changes show
+immediately (both directories, for now, only have tiny test files).
