Descriptions for both these commands state that data will be *moved* into the annex in the first sentence. If you aren't reading docs before using these commands, better docs are hardly going to have helped.. + +What you are trying to do can be done with `import --skip-duplicates` then `cp` -> `reinject`, albeit a bit of a pain. Personally, I would use `calckey` to generate the hashes (and keep them in a file), add hashes for files not listed in that file, then use that file to find out what keys were unknown and `import --duplicate` just those files. + +..or [following a suggestion I made a while ago](http://git-annex.branchable.com/todo/Alternative_mode_control_for_import/) `git annex import --mode=Di,Nsi` would do what you want (injects duplicates without deleting, adds new without deleting) :P +"""]]
