+### Please describe the problem.
+If a file is executable, the content of the file remains to be an SHA hash in a newly cloned repository. Neither 'git annex sync --content' or 'git annex get' can bring the file back.
+The only way to bring the file back is to remove the file and do a 'git checkout' or 'git reset HEAD --hard'
+
+If the file is not an executable (a tarball for example), it works as expected.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+See log below.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+6.20160318-gd594fc0 on Ubuntu 15.10
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
