We have the correct symlink:
$ ls -lh Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 204 Apr 8 20:22 Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 -> .git/annex/objects/6q/Wz/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4
The object is in place:
$ ls -lh .git/annex/objects/6q/Wz/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4

Now I move the symlink, which becomes broken:
$ mv Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 Videos/
I try to fix the symlink:
$ git annex sync
$ git annex fix Videos/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4
But it stays broken:
$ ls -lh Videos/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 204 Apr 8 20:22 Videos/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 -> .git/annex/objects/6q/Wz/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4
Ah, when I try to `git mv Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 Videos/`,
I am warned that the link is not under version control. How did the symlink get
made in the first place, if not by git-annex? It should be known, right?
After I `git annex add`, I can `git mv` and then `git annex fix`.
How did I get into the state where I have a symlink pointing at an imported
object, which is not under version control?
