+I recently started an attempt to migrate multiple existing directories to git annex. The [[walkthrough]] section on adding remotes gave me the impression that it was as simple as initializing a git annex on each copy and then just syncing them all up! The big surprise came when I attempted the sync and git complained about conflicts that it was attempting to merge. I had missed the most important point that these are all in fact git repositories, and you can't just fetch random unrelated git repositories into each other!
+
+This particular tip can save so much pain for newcomers like me, if only the walkthrough pointed out this situation.
