What steps will reproduce the problem?

    ...:/tmp$ mkdir repro
    ...:/tmp$ cd repro/
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git init
    Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/repro/.git/
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git annex init test
    init test ok
    ...:/tmp/repro$ echo "A" > a.txt
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git annex add a.txt
    add a.txt (checksum...) ok
    (Recording state in git...)
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git commit -m "add file"
    [master (root-commit) bf53ce2] add file
     1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
     create mode 120000 a.txt
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git annex whereis a.txt
    whereis a.txt (1 copy) 
      	5c028c6a-2c5e-11e2-bb9c-17bd7ce81377 -- here (test)
    ok
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git annex unlock a.txt
    unlock a.txt (copying...) ok
    ...:/tmp/repro$ git annex whereis a.txt

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

    I'd expect that whereis executed on an unlocked file would behave like whereis executed on a locked file.

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
