joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir2>git annex get disk2 get disk2 Unable to access these remotes: origin Try making some of these repositories available: 21606444-98f9-4c40-aa60-3ebfba936758 -- origin (joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir) failed git-annex: get: 1 failed - exit 1 joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir2>git annex whereis disk2 whereis disk2 (1 copy) 21606444-98f9-4c40-aa60-3ebfba936758 -- origin (joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir) ok joey@gnu:~/tmp/mydir2>So, not a silent failure. It is a little unclear about why it can't get the file (in this case because I moved .git/annex/objects out of the way), but it's pretty clear it can't. AFAIK, the only way `git annex get` can silently not do anything is if you already have the file locally. Perhaps you got confused? OTOH, if you can provide a better way to reproduce this, I'm curious to see it. """]]
