+# What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+1. Use assistant to setup a local repository (client group) and a remote repository (via ssh, backup group).
+
+2. Add some big files and wait for them to be syncronized.
+
+3. Manually switch to indirect mode (to make 'drop' work)
+
+4. Drop the file's content from the local repository.
+
+5. Rename the file using any file manager or mv on the command line.
+
+
+# What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+* Expected outcome was the file being renamed and that name change being propagated to the remote repository without re-transferring the whole file. I didn't drop it for nothing!
+
+* Instead, the file was renamed and the file's content was retrieved from the remote repository.
+
+
+# What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

+Git-Annex 3.20130102
+
+Arch Linux on x64.
