+This is problematic mostly when running git-annex with cron.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+git annex copy --to myrepo > log
+
+then look at the content of log.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20151019
+
+Mac OS X 10.10.5
+Ubuntu 14.04

+### Please provide any additional information below.
