+When using
+
+    git annex import --deduplicate -- ~/directory/to/import
+
+would it be possible to output the keys for duplicate files? This would allow people to find where in the annex the files already exist.
+
+e.g.
+
+    import ~/directory/to/import/001.txt ok
+    import ~/directory/to/import/002.txt ok
+    import ~/directory/to/import/002_d.txt (duplicate SHA256E-s261--fb1230987ac123098...) ok
+    import ~/directory/to/import/003.txt ok
+
+Then you could use
+
+    git log -S SHA256E-s261--fb1230987ac123098...
+
+to find out where it is already.
+
+Not sure if that is the nicest layout.. (or what it might break).
