Present in the m2 remote. In this case, that is file3. 2. Are not wanted to be present in the repository in which you run git-annex. In this case, that's all files, since you're running it in m1, which has no files, and is set to manual mode. Combining criterion 1 and criterion 2, the command finds file3. Not that you expected, but only I think because you misunderstood what --in does. So, I don't see a bug here? """]]
