 ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

+Well `fsck --from` does check the consistency of what's in the remote.
+That entails verifying that the remote contains the data that
+git-annex thinks it contains. But it also means verifying that the remote
+does not contain any data that git-annex didn't know it contains. 
+
+Checking the file is not present on the remote is part of the latter.
+
+If you wanted to only verify that files git-annex thinks are on the remote
+are present there, you could use eg `git-annex fsck --from theremote --in theremote`
