Hello and thank you for git-annex.
## Context
Every newbie needs to understand what steps are possible and what to do when a wrong step was made.
The wording \"undo accidental add command\" suggested (to me at least) that it was intended to be issued just *right after* the accidental add command, *before any commit*.
## Steps to reproduce
Right after `git annex add path`, do `git annex unannex path`.
## Expected behavior
`git annex unannex path` would undo the add.
More precisely, it would walk the path given, find any symlink pointing to annexed data and not committed yet, and replace it with a plain file with the linked content, honoring `--fast` option if given.
## Observed behavior
git-annex: Cannot proceed with uncommitted changes staged in the index. Recommend you: git commit
If user follows this path, there will be two unnecessary commits: an add commit and an unannex commit.
There may be reasons to prefer not to introduce those commits. Granted, git allows to adjust history after the fact. Is there a simpler solution?
## Question, summarized
Is there a command to just revert a \"add\", without introducing any commit?
## Details
Full test log below:
```
{
cd /tmp/ ; mkdir testga ; cd testga ;
git init ; git annex init ;
echo \"test\" > test ;
git annex add test ; git annex unannex test
}
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/testga/.git/
init ok
(recording state in git...)
add test ok
(recording state in git...)
git-annex: Cannot proceed with uncommitted changes staged in the index. Recommend you: git commit
```
Thank you for any hint.
