Most likely, I will `git checkout -- .`, rename, and `git annex add` again. I am pretty sure that `git annex add` does not do anything other than staging in the current branch and does not touch the `git-annex` branch. But I don't _know_. + +Long story short, it would make both my workflow easier and give me more peace of mind if there was a `git annex fix --untracked` or similar which does exactly the same, but operates on files that are not checked in and/or staged. + +As an aside, `git annex fsck --untracked` which is basically `git annex fsck --numcopies=1` on untracked files would be.... awesome. + +"""]]
