Getting out of this sticky situation requires some commandline-fu. + +### What steps will reproduce the problem? + +1. Install git-annex on Android +2. Open git-annex from the apps menu +3.

On what operating system? + +Using git-annex Android and Debian. + +### Please provide any additional information below. + +I thought that adding a remote server repository would result in two non-bare repositories, such as what the Local pairing mode achieves. However Local pairing is not available on Android. I assumed the remote server would function in the same manner, except that I entered the SSH connection information manually.
