dial back addition, but keep it

It's a semi-common point of confusion that numcopies is not something
these commands go out and copy files around specifically to satisfy,
without further configuration in preferred content. So this is a good

Note that it (like [[git-annex-sync]] or [[git-annex-assist]]) does not work
specifically towards satisfying the [[git-annex-numcopies]] setting and it will
not violate the local preferred content expression in order to move files
between remotes that are not present locally. To allow for files to be present
locally for such a movement between remotes, consider adding `or
approxlackingcopies=1` to your local [[preferred_content]] expression (and
maybe increasing [[git-annex-numcopies]] accordingly) so that files may pass
through your local repo temporarily. Otherwise, `git annex satisfy` does not
see a pathway for files to pass between other remotes.

unless the preferred content setting of the local repository is written to
do so by using eg `approxlackingcopies=1`.
