$ git annex version
git-annex version: 5.20140818-g10bf03a
~~~~

When repository was initially created, it used "old" hashing from http://git-annex.branchable.com/internals/hashing/ . After some operations, annex was upgraded to "new" format. However, symlinks are still in "old" format and dangling. "git annex fsck", "git annex repair", "git annex pre-commit" - none helps.
