+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I get this error when trying to copy annexed files from my laptop to the bare repository on my server:
+
+    anarcat@angela:ohm2013$ git annex copy -t origin .
+    git-annex: cannot determine uuid for origin
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Here's my setup:
+
+ * `angela`: regular git repository on my laptop (`angela`) where i ran `git annex init` and `git annex add`ed 4 big files (in `~anarcat/presentations/ohm2013`)
+ * `marcos-bare`: a bare git repository where i ran `git annex init` on a different server (`marcos`) (in `~anarcat/repos/presentations/ohm2013.git`)
+ * `marcos-checkout`: a checkout of the above repository on marcos (in `~anarcat/presentations/ohm2013`)
+
+I ran `git pull/push` everwhere in there, and still get the error
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+The laptop runs git annex 4
+
+Marcos runs:
+
+[[!format txt """
+git-annex version: 3.20120629

+default repository version: 3

+### Please provide any additional information below.

+In addition, there's this error on `marcos-bare`:
