### Please describe the problem.
From the description of `sync` in the man page I assume it should be able to push all the branches it needs:
> The sync process involves first committing all local changes, then fetching and merging the `synced/master` and the `git-annex` branch from the remote repositories, and finally pushing the changes back to those branches on the remote repositories. You can use standard git commands to do each of those steps by hand, or if you don't want to worry about the details, you can use sync.
However this does not seem to be the case if one starts from an empty repository.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
The following script (from <https://gist.github.com/gioele/d4e0905a3570f097fb0b>) will reproduce this problem:
#!/bin/sh -x
set -e ; set -u
export LC_ALL=C
d=$(pwd)
# cleanup
chmod a+rwx -R REPO pc1 || true
rm -Rf REPO pc1
# create central git repo
mkdir -p REPO/Docs.git
cd REPO/Docs.git
git init --bare
cd $d
# populate repo in PC1
mkdir -p pc1/Docs
cd pc1/Docs
echo AAA > fileA
echo BBB > fileB
git init
git remote add origin $d/REPO/Docs.git
git fetch --all
git annex init "pc1"
git annex add .
git annex sync
find $d/REPO/Docs.git/refs
# there should be some branches inside refs
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
5.20140412ubuntu1 from Ubuntu 14.04.
