This bug is not specific to direct mode; in v7 adjusted unlocked branch
the assistant behaves the same as it did in my last comment above.

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
I'm new to git-annex and immediately astonished by its unique strength. I fit the Archivist use case, and this could be the solution I wanted for so long. I'm planning to deploy it on 2 Windows boxes and several USB disks, all of them on NTFS. I learnt the idea that v6 repo is not yet good for Win/NTFS (double disk space), so I guess direct mode is the way to go? I have already got some test repos running and practicing, indeed this sync loop problem is the only remaining case I'm not confident with. Is it a bug or some safety measure feature? Am I good to go? Thanks and oh, Merry X'mas!

I have also seen sync loops in direct mode repos not on NTFS.
git-annex has not supported direct mode on NTFS since earlier this year,
and now direct mode support has been removed entirely, replaced with v7
adjusted unlocked branches. I tried replicating this bug on NTFS using
those, and the syncs quieted down immediately after changes stopped being
made.
So, closing this bug.
