Recently I ran into the following situation under Ubuntu with an encrypted home directory (which shortens the length that filenames can be):
$ git annex add 687474703a2f2f6d656469612e74756d626c722e636f6d2f74756d626c725f6c656673756557324c703171663879656b2e676966.gif

git-annex: 1 failed
The file seems to be completely gone. It no longer exists in the current directory, or under .git/annex.
I don't mind horribly that git-annex failed due to the name length limit, but it shouldn't have deleted my file in the process (fortunately the file wasn't very important, or hard to recover).
