subject="annexed -> normal git does not work if annexed file was unlocked"

content="""
The sequence of commands given to shift an unlocked annexed file to normal git (for instance a file annexed by mistake due to the new git-add behaviour), namely
git annex unlock file
git -c annex.largefiles=nothing add file
git commit file
does not work if the file is unmodified, as git sees no change to commit. In this case, I believe one should replace the first command with
git annex unannex file
