* There can be problems when the git-annex repository is in a deep
or long path. Ie, `C:\loooooooooooooooooongdir\`.
[Details here](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/__34__git-annex:_direct:_1_failed__34___on_Windows)
Workaround: Put your git-annex repo in `C:\annex` or some similar short
path if possible.
Workaround: Enable long paths in the registry. See

(Also, of course, the Windows box is unlikely to have a ssh server,
so only pairing with a !Windows box will work.)
