I tried to rename a `.gif` file to `.jpg`:

    $ git annex version

    $ find .git/annex/objects -type f

    $ git mv foo.gif foo.jpg
    $ git commit -a -m renamed
    ...
    $ git annex fsck
    ...
    $ find .git/annex/objects -type f
    .git/annex/objects/JW/wq/SHA256E-s231374848--01ca5e0bb09d068f15ccbf9b064b72f573198bd7516ff8edc72e455a09bf9bd4.gif/SHA256E-s231374848--01ca5e0bb09d068f15ccbf9b064b72f573198bd7516ff8edc72e455a09bf9bd4.gif
    $ ls -l foo.jpg
    lrwxrwxrwx 1 pts pts 202 Oct 15 10:36 foo.jpg -> .git/annex/objects/JW/wq/SHA256E-s231374848--01ca5e0bb09d068f15ccbf9b064b72f573198bd7516ff8edc72e455a09bf9bd4.gif/SHA256E-s231374848--01ca5e0bb09d068f15ccbf9b064b72f573198bd7516ff8edc72e455a09bf9bd4.gif

I would expect that the last extension printed is .jpg, rather than .gif. How do I make git-annex fix that, preferably without calling `git annex fsck`, which is very slow, because it rehashes the file?
