-You generally cannot use a git-annex repository that is in direct mode as a remote over http. A remote git-annex does not have sufficient information to safely use a direct mode repository in that way. I don't think I can fix that. The http transport will work with indirect mode repositories (not supported on Windows), and with bare repositories (should work ok on Windows).

-I'm perplexed by what you show happening in the comment. It appears that the content of the files has been staged into the git repository as the symlink target on Windows. I have never seen that happen, cannot imagine how git-annex could do that. My best guess is you might have run `git commit -a` after `git annex add`, and on Windows, since it doesn't really have symlinks, that could leave the symlink bit set while staging the full content of the file. You should never run `git commit -a` in a direct mode repository (Windows always uses direct mode). See [[/direct_mode]] for caveats about git commands that are unsafe to run in direct mode.
