fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/marcos-bare/*
I have *no* idea how that `annex-ignore` got there, but that was the root of my problem. Removing it it allowed my to do `git annex copy`. I really don't know how this happened, but I guess this is [[done]], although I believe this error message is really confusing and could be improved.
