+I think that would be a great idea. If someone can tell me how to do that
+on Windows.. 
+
+Note that even if you opened such a file, and made a change, and then
+saved it, this would at the worst result in a new commit being made.
+Other repositories that have a copy of the file would not lose their
+copy, at least not immediately (`git annex dropunused` might eventually
+remove it). So, to recover from such a mistake, it suffices to run `git
+annex undo $file`.
