+When I tried to duplicate these results today, it failed in a different fashion.
+
+adding a new file (file2.txt) to a test repo on windows, setting up an HTTP access, and fetching and merging onto linux leaves the following state:
+[[!format sh \"\"\"
+test-git-annex@linux_host:~/test_annex$ ls -l
+total 4
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 test-git-annex test-git-annex   <datetime> file1.txt -> this is some content?
+lrwxrwxrwx 1 test-git-annex test-git-annex   <datetime> file2.txt -> some new content, on a new annex
+\"\"\"]]
+
+it is treating the contents of the files as the name of a symlink. get annex get . is unable to retrieve them as contents.
