Tried another approach:
``git annex unannex <file>; rm <file>``
This does not delete the original, and it only works if you do ``git annex get <file>`` first. It won't update the remote, unless you cd into that remote and run ``git annex sync`` there. After that there is the illusion the file is done, but its content is still in .git/annex/objects. In my test case I could vim into the file in question in the objects directory and it was still there.
So ``git annex drop`` deletes both copies of duplicate files and so is too dangerous to use and ``git annex unannex`` doesn't delete the file anywhere. I am a little stuck here, what do I do?
