+### Please describe the problem.
+I am cloning a remote annex repository to my Windows machine using git clone user@server:/home/user/data
+
+After I perform git annex init, git annex sync fails with an error complaining that user@server is an invalid command (complete log below).
+
+It appears that git-annex sync invokes the git-annex executable with parameters for the ssh command.
+
+git config.sshcaching is false.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+I tried setting up the repository many different ways, using git bash, cmd.exe or cygwin bash and always get the same error after git annex sync.
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
