I'm importing a directory where some files are hard links of each other.
This is confusing git-annex. Here's a small test of that:
<pre>
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp$ mkdir annex-test
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp$ cd annex-test
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/annex-test/.git/
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ git annex init testing
init testing ok
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ echo '* annex.backend=SHA1' >> .gitattributes
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ git commit .gitattributes -m 'Default to sha1'
[master dd54b41] Default to sha1

paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ echo "Look at me" > file1
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ cp -l file1 file2
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ git annex add file1
add file1 (checksum...) ok
(Recording state in git...)
paulproteus@pathi:/tmp/annex-test$ git commit -m 'So far, so good'

I think the right behavior here is to annex file2 just fine, as if they weren't hard links before.
