Originally was trying to reproduce [datalad/issues/3653](https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/3653) assuming that multiple files pointed to the same key.
It was not the case, and my attempt revealed another bug - annex inability to "obtain" files in parallel when multiple of them point to the same key:

And that is what happens then when we try to get the same key in parallel:
[[!format sh """

/tmp > git clone src dst; (cd dst; git annex get -J 5 *; )
Cloning into 'dst'...
done.
(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)
(recording state in git...)
(scanning for unlocked files...)
get 2 (from origin...) (checksum...)

I felt like it is an old issue but failed to find a trace of it upon a quick lookup
