+Host: Mac OS with git-annex 5.20140919-g0f7caf5
+
+Remote: Linux 
+
+* with git-annex 5.20140920-gb0c4300
+* using user&password login
+
+On Host:
+
+1. create a repo with git init && git annex init && git annex direct
+1. add a rsync repo in git-annex webapp, type "small archive", with shared encryption (same result using command line)
+1. copy some new files to the repo, expect the files to appear in the remote repo (check with du)
+1. Web app says "synced with remote-name", but remote repo is completely empty
+1. run git annex copy --to $remotename, now remote repo is filled with files
+1. but the sizes are really small, seems that the actual files are not being transferred
+1. convert the repo to indirect repo: git annex indirect
+1. re-run git annex copy, now the repo size on the remote seems about right
+1. now start git annex assistant, copy some new files, expect new files to be synced
+1. actual: the remote becomes completely empty, the existing files are removed!
+
+The other small issue
+
+* The add remote interface stops at "check remote" prompt for a long time without completing
+* Kill the webapp process, re-run webapp, add remote again, it worked very quickly
+* But future interaction with the remote still requires password, both commandline & webapp
