+### Please describe the problem.
+
+git annex info (and may be other commands) would "initiate" git-annex branch (and may be smth else?) even if a given repository has nothing to do with annex (well -- tested in git-annex code repo itself, which is not annexed).  Even if I specify file pointing to somewhere else. For that actually annex also would initiate git-annex branch even though underlying git call would fail due to outside repo.
+
+I expect e.g. 'annex info' to fail and return some non-0 code since ran within non-annexed repo (no remote git-annex branch, nothing).
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+run  git annex info   in non-annexed repo
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+5.20150819+gitgc587698-1~ndall+1

+### Please provide any additional information below.
