* Bad file locking, it's probably not safe to run more than one git-annex
process at the same time on Windows.
* No support for the assistant or webapp.
* Ssh connection caching does not work on Windows, so `git annex get`
has to connect twice to the remote system over ssh per file, which
is much slower than on systems supporting connection caching.
