A repository does not always have all annexed file contents available.
When you need the content of a file, you can use "git annex get" to
make it available.
We can use this to copy everything in the laptop's annex to the
USB drive.
# cd /media/usb/annex
# git annex sync laptop
# git annex get .
get my_cool_big_file (from laptop...) ok
get iso/debian.iso (from laptop...) ok
