+Note that same thing happens when a directory special remote is configured
+with importtree=yes exporttree=yes and the directory gets moved out of the
+way. (Well, it does now.. Previously it failed to fail and imported an empty
+tree, which was much worse a bug.)
+
+Failure to access the borg repo doesn't prevent the rest of the sync from
+happening though. It still syncs with other remotes.
+
+Yes, there is a special case in sync to skip local git repositories that
+are not present. Skipping borg and directory special remotes would need
+that special case to be improved to an interface.
