Revisiting an issue I reported a couple of months ago but never figured out. I am trying to use git annex assistant on two separate machines to automatically mirror files between them. But after I start the second assistant and add new files to the annex, I find that git fsck reports dangling blobs. Is there a conflict between the two assistants?

On the server:

    $ mkdir ~/annex
    $ cd ~/annex
    $ git init
    $ git annex init u --version=6
    $ echo This is test file 1. >testfile1.txt
    $ git annex add testfile1.txt
    $ git annex sync
    $ git remote add ml2 ssh://laptop/Users/username/annex
    $ git annex assistant

After all that, I do this on the laptop:

    $ cd ~/
    $ git clone ssh://server/home/username/annex
    $ cd annex
    $ git annex init ml2 --version=6
    $ git annex sync
    $ git annex assistant

At this point git fsck is happy. But when I add files to the annex on either machine and run git fsck, I get messages like:

    Checking object directories: 100% (256/256), done.
