@ -4,7 +4,13 @@ I plugged in a usb drive, did git annex sync and it git fast-forward and deleted
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Obviously, I'm not sure really because I don't plug this usb drive every day to sync so I don't remember what I did last time. But I suppose I just finished with git annex sync and unplugged it. The usb drive as in direct mode whereas the laptop was in indirect mode at the time. Anyway, the big mistake I did was syncing the laptop as well, naively thinking it would correct the usb drive; but instead it also deleted the files on the laptop. I had a back up of most of it so it was okay.
