### Please describe the problem.
It seems that the `synced/git-annex` branch (which I am a little confused about in the first place), doesn't get synced automatically by the assistant.
I was expecting the assistant to regularly do the equivalent of `git annex sync`. However, after a client pushed changes to the `git-annex` branch, I had to manually do a `git annex sync` for the changes of the `synced/git-annex` branch to be merged down into the local `git-annex`.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
I have 3 machines in this setup (to simplify: there are more, but those are sufficient). Let's call them foo, bar and quux. foo and quuex are connected to bar through password-less SSH connexions.
foo commits a file to git-annex. the assistant syncs that to bar in the `synced/git-annex` branch.
quux syncs with bar, and seems to ignore the `synced/git-annex` branch.
git-annex sync on quux syncs the `synced/git-annex` branch into the local `git-annex`, working around the issue.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
foo is 5.20150610+gitg608172f-1~ndall+1 on Debian 7.8 (wheezy).
bar and quux are 5.20150409+git126-ga29f683-1~ndall+1 and 5.20150610+gitg608172f-1~ndall+1 (respectively) on Ubuntu 12.04 (precise) .
### Please provide any additional information below.
I guess a more general question is how and how often do those branches get merged by the assistant... it's still unclear to me how this works.
