+**What steps will reproduce the problem?**
+
+I generated repositories on two machines an then tried to sync them via ssh (by adding a "Remote server") but I ended up with a third (bare) repository next to my data on the remote server.
+
+**What is the expected output? What do you see instead?**
+
+The assistant should recognize the existing repository (especially the .git directory) and then start syncing only the needed files.
+
+**What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?**
+
+git-annex version: 4.20130324, Ubuntu 11.04
+
+**Please provide any additional information below.**
