-Hi the fix works fine, all the tests pass now.  However I am having issues when trying to sync two directories.  I have had this working in direct mode in fedora but not in the previously mentioned windows install
-
-set-up:
-
-2 directories d1 and d2.
-
-SETUP:
-cd d1
-mkdir annex
-cd annex
-cp someFile . (as get branch issue if empty)
-git init
-git annex init d1
-cp someFile . (as get branch issue if empty)
-git annex add .
-git annex sync
-cd ..\..\d2
-git clone ..\..\d1\annex
-cd annex
-git annex init d2
-git remote add d1 ..\..\d1\annex
-cd ..\..\d1\annex
-git remote add d2 ..\..\d2\annex
-
-
-SYNCING
-cd d1\annex
-cp someFiles .
-git annex add .
-git annex sync
-cd ..\..\d2\annex
-git annex sync
-git annex mirror --from d1
-
-It looks like the files copy across but when I look at them in explorer they are still just the place holders.
-
-any ideas on what may be going on.  Does the work flow look correct?
