+git-annex sync does more than that. Especially merging the synced branches and, thus, showing files that were pushed into a repo from a remote. Also, git commit -a cannot be done in direct mode.
+But, I think I can just create an alias for git-annex sync --no-push --no-pull to save me some typing.
