By default, importing two files with the same contents from two different
locations will result in both files being added to the repository.
(With most backends, only one copy of the data will be stored.)
To not delete files from the import location, use the
--duplicate option. This could allow importing the same files repeatedly
to different locations in a repository. More likely, it could be used to
import the same files to a number of different branches or separate git
repositories.
The --deduplicate option can be used to alter this behavior, making
files whose content has already been seen by git-annex not be added
to the repository, but just be deleted.
The --clean-duplicates option does not import any new files, but any files
found in the import location that are duplicates of content in the annex
are deleted.
(Note that using --deduplicate or --clean-duplicates with the WORM
backend does not look at file content, but filename and mtime.)
