+Thank you Mesar! 
+
+I think I'm beginning to understand. Indeed, the files were there on the usbdrive repo (in .git/annex/objects). No need to sync or merge. I was able to drop a file from the laptop repo and get it back from the usbdrive.
+
+What is a bit unnerving, is that the symlinks are not present on the usbdrive, so it looks empty except for the .git directory.
+
+Thanks so much for clearing this up. More to explore...
