+Just playing with git-annex which looks great so far, but I noticed that when you make use off "git annex assistant" to watch and sync your repo with the remote it doesn't drop files anymore. They just stay in the repo.
+
+What I have is the following:
+
+- 2 repo's in direct mode
+- they both have each other as remote
+- they're synced and stay synced with the assistant daemon running (in both repo's started "git annex assistant")
+- is see changes coming and precessed, so so far so good.
+
+Then I drop in one repo a path for instance like : git annex drop iso
+Afterwards I still see the files (and contents) in that repo. New files in the iso path are still synced to the other and vise versa.
+
+Then I kill the assistant on both side's and drop the path again. This time it's dropped as expected and the contents of the file in the iso path are gone.
+Starting the assistant again brings is back though :(
+
+I really liked the assistant feature and possibility of dropping the files from one repo, but they don't seem to work together.
+
+Is this a bur or expected behaviour? I think the latter since the assistant also does the git annex get commands so sounds logical?
