### Please describe the problem.
When I `git mv` a file that I just `git annex add`-ed without having `git commit`-ed it first, then the symlink will break.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
$ mkdir foo
$ echo hello > foo/bar
$ git annex add foo/bar
$ git mv foo/bar .
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
5.20140529 on Debian testing

> * You can run `git annex fix` yourself after `git mv`.
> * Even `git annex add $file` will fix the symlink if the file is already
