### Please describe the problem.
When two identical files are annexed and one of them is dropped, both files are gone (one dangling symlink is left). This may be intentional (the checksums are the same after all), but then is there a way to drop one of the files?
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
mkdir annex
cd annex
git init
git annex init
mkdir a b
dd if=/dev/urandom of=a/data.bin count=2048
cp a/data.bin b
git annex add a/data.bin b/data.bin
git commit -m "Added raw data."
git annex drop --force a/data.bin
file b/data.bin
