After a `git-annex forget`, syncing with a remote that still has the forgotten data in its git-annex branch merges that data right back in. Reproduction script: chmod -R +w bench 2>/dev/null rm -rf bench 2>/dev/null mkdir bench cd bench git init a cd a git-annex init touch foo git-annex add foo git commit -m add cd .. git clone a b cd b git-annex get git-annex drop git-annex get git-annex drop cd ../a git-annex sync git-annex forget --force git-annex sync git-annex log foo cd ../b git-annex sync cd ../a git-annex log foo --[[Joey]] > [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]]
