+##What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+    mkdir test
+    git init
+    git annex init "test"
+    echo "test" > a
+    echo "test" > b
+    git annex add a b
+    git annex sync
+    git annex direct
+    git annex sync | grep add
+    git annex sync | grep add
+
+##What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
+
+The last two syncs shouldn't need to add or checksum anything.
+Firstly, the output is very confusing because the files have already been added.
+Secondly, the sync can take quite a while if you have lots of duplicates or a lot of files that are incidentally similar.
