+### Please describe the problem.
+
+With a version above 5.20141125, git annex wants all remotes to get all files
+when one remote wants standard.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+- Create repo "a" and "b"
+- Add "b" as a remote of "a"
+- Add a file in "a"
+- In "a", try git annex copy --to b. Nothing happens: this is the excepted behaviour
+- In "a", run git annex wanted here standard
+- In "a", try git annex copy --to b. Now, it wants to copy the file to "b" without any obvious (to me) reason
+
