### Please describe the problem.
On Windows 7, the committed symlink files are always relative to the repo's .git root; they are not prefixed with the correct number of ../ for the given level of directing nesting.
Trying to correct this with `git annex fix` returns "You cannot run this command in a direct mode repository."
I believe that this is also the source of a pathological case I'm seeing on Windows. After adding a lot of content, commands like `git annex sync` and `git annex status` appear to re-checksum the entire annex. After syncing the repo to a Linux machine, fixing the symlinks there, and syncing back, these commands become snappy again.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
[[!format sh """
git init
git annex init
mkdir -p one/two/three/four/five/six
# drop files into the dir structure
git annex add .
git annex sync
git log -p
"""]]
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
git-annex version: 5.20140203-g83e6fb7
on Windows 7 Pro
### Please provide any additional information below.
The output of `git log -p` for me:
