I wonder if it isn't related to the fact that even if I do `git annex drop` on windows, the file is still marked as modified in git.
What is in repository is the path to the file's data using unix style folder separator but what is in my working directory is a file containing the path using windows style folder separator.

I paste a transcript to describe what I mean:

[[!format sh \"\"\"
$ mkdir tmp

$ cd tmp

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in c:/Users/raz/tmp/tmp/.git/

$ git annex init test
init test
  Detected a crippled filesystem.

  Enabling direct mode.

  Detected a filesystem without fifo support.

  Disabling ssh connection caching.
ok
(Recording state in git...)

$ echo test > test

$ git annex add
add test (checksum...) ok
(Recording state in git...)

$ git annex sync
commit
ok
git-annex: no branch is checked out

$ git annex drop --force
drop test ok
(Recording state in git...)

$ git status
# On branch master
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use \"git add <file>...\" to update what will be committed)
#   (use \"git checkout -- <file>...\" to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   test
#
no changes added to commit (use \"git add\" and/or \"git commit -a\")

$ git diff
