+What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+In one terminal, I created a new annex and started the assistant watching it.
+
+In another, I added a file file1; assistant noticed it and added it to the annex.
+
+I moved file1 to a directory directory1; the link broke and assistant did not fix it.
+
+I created a file called file2 inside directory 2; assistant noticed it and added it to the annex.
+
+I moved file2 back up to the annex root directory; the link broke and assistant did not fix it.
+
+I created a file file3 in the annex root directory; assistant noticed it and added it to the annex.
+
+Here is the content of the first terminal, where I created the annex and ran assistant:
+
+
+ ~$ mkdir testannex
+ ~$ cd testannex/
+ testannex$ git init .
+ Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/ed/testannex/.git/
+ testannex$ git annex init "test annex"
+ init test annex ok
+ (Recording state in git...)
+ testannex$ git annex assistant --foreground
+ assistant . (scanning...) (started...) add file1 (checksum...) ok
+ (Recording state in git...)
+ (Recording state in git...)
+ add directory1/file2 (checksum...) ok
+ (Recording state in git...)
+ (Recording state in git...)
+ add file3 (checksum...)
+
+here is the content of the second terminal, where I created and moved files:
+
+ ~$ cd testannex
+ testannex$ echo "file1 content" > file1
+ testannex$ mkdir directory1
+ testannex$ ls -l file1
+ lrwxr-xr-x 1 ed staff 180 Dec 13 15:40 file1 -> .git/annex/objects/FX/51/SHA256E-s14--edac79763e630b1b77aefb6c284bcb0362dea71c0548be0e793ffa8fd5907b80/SHA256E-s14--edac79763e630b1b77aefb6c284bcb0362dea71c0548be0e793ffa8fd5907b80
+ testannex$ mv file1 directory1/
+ testannex$ cd directory1/
+ directory1$ cat file1
+ cat: file1: No such file or directory
+ directory1$ echo "file2 content" > file2
+ directory1$ cat file2
+ file2 content
+ directory1$ cat file1
+ cat: file1: No such file or directory
+ directory1$ mv file2 ../
+ directory1$ cd ..
+ testannex$ echo "file3 content" > file3
+ testannex$
+
+
+What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+The links do not break when moved to another directory.
+
+What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+One compiled using cabal from checkout 739c937
+
+Please provide any additional information below.
