As you can see, I'm running a pretty recent build of git-annex (ac799c3f363e0008b23e9c174e6fedc35e6fa92a),
$ git annex version
git-annex version: 3.20120630
local repository version: 3
default repository version: 3
supported repository versions: 3
upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2
We have a file here which isn't currently available yet isn't
currently available (the link is shown in red),
$ ls -l plot.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ben ben 77 Jul 6 14:01 plot.py -> ../.git/annex/objects/WORM:1301941019:720:plot.py/WORM:1301941019:720:plot.py
$
Yet git-annex should be able to tell us where it is,
$ git-annex whereis plot.py
$
Hmm, well that's strange. What's happening here,
$ git-annex whereis plot.py -d
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","show-ref","git-annex"]
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","show-ref","--hash","refs/heads/git-annex"]
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","log","refs/heads/git-annex..d5582e05f41011b571a17003934fe9e40859e4be","--oneline","-n1"]

git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","ls-files","--cached","-z","--","plot.py"]
$
Alright, well maybe `git-annex get` will work,
$ git annex get plot.py -d
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","ls-files","--cached","-z","--","plot.py"]
$ ls -l plot.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ben ben 77 Jul 6 14:01 plot.py -> ../.git/annex/objects/WORM:1301941019:720:plot.py/WORM:1301941019:720:plot.py
Nope, the link is still shown in red.
Alright, what about `git-annex copy`?
$ git annex copy plot.py --from=goldnerlab --to=here -d
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","show-ref","git-annex"]
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","show-ref","--hash","refs/heads/git-annex"]
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","log","refs/heads/git-annex..d5582e05f41011b571a17003934fe9e40859e4be","--oneline","-n1"]
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","cat-file","--batch"]
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","ls-files","--cached","-z","--","plot.py"]
$ ls -l plot.py
lrwxrwxrwx 1 ben ben 77 Jul 6 14:01 plot.py -> ../.git/annex/objects/WORM:1301941019:720:plot.py/WORM:1301941019:720:plot.py
Still red.
Alright, what if I just try to get a non-existent file?
$ git annex get adsflkah -d
git ["--git-dir=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data/.git","--work-tree=/home/ben/lori/analysis/data","ls-files","--cached","-z","--","adsflkah"]
$
Alright, it didn't fail with an error, that's very strange. What is going on here?
