fsck finds problems with the repository.
A file not being present in the local repository is not a problem, if the
file is known to be present in some other repository.
The ability to have some files not present in the local repository, but
retreivable by `git annex get` when you need them, is one of the main
features of git-annex, since it lets you manage quantities of data larger
than you have space for on your computer.
If you want to know what files are not present in your local repository,
there is a way to do that: `git annex find --not --in here`

# DESCRIPTION
With no parameters, this command checks the whole annex for consistency,
and warns about or fixes any problems found. This is a good complement to
`git fsck`.
This command checks annexed files for consistency, and warns about or
fixes any problems found. This is a good complement to `git fsck`.
With parameters, only the specified files are checked.
The default is to check all annexed files in the current directory and
subdirectories. With parameters, only the specified files are checked.
The problems fsck finds include files that have gotten corrupted,
files whose content has somehow become lost, files that do not have the
configured number of copies yet made, and keys that can be upgraded to a
better format.
