What steps will reproduce the problem?

Create two repositories by running git annex webapp. Sync them by linking them to the same xmpp account. Add files on both sides.

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

I expect the same file to show up on both sides with the same contents. Instead adding a file on any side creates a broken link with the same name on the other side. For example:

Side A:

    $ ls -la
    total 20
    drwxrwxr-x  3 pedrocr pedrocr 4096 Jan  3 19:24 .
    drwxr-xr-x 55 pedrocr pedrocr 4096 Jan  3 19:19 ..
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 pedrocr pedrocr  178 Jan  3 19:22 bar -> .git/annex/objects/FQ/vV/SHA256E-s8--12a61f4e173fb3a11c05d6471f74728f76231b4a5fcd9667cef3af87a3ae4dc2/SHA256E-s8--12a61f4e173fb3a11c05d6471f74728f76231b4a5fcd9667cef3af87a3ae4dc2
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 pedrocr pedrocr  178 Jan  3 19:20 foo -> .git/annex/objects/g7/9v/SHA256E-s4--7d865e959b2466918c9863afca942d0fb89d7c9ac0c99bafc3749504ded97730/SHA256E-s4--7d865e959b2466918c9863afca942d0fb89d7c9ac0c99bafc3749504ded97730
    drwxrwxr-x  7 pedrocr pedrocr 4096 Jan  3 19:24 .git
    -rw-r--r--  1 pedrocr pedrocr    0 Jan  3 19:24 testing

"foo" and "bar" are broken links that were created on Side B

Side B:

    $ ls -la
    total 24
    drwxrwxr-x  3 pedrocr pedrocr 4096 Jan  3 19:24 .
    drwx------ 42 pedrocr pedrocr 4096 Jan  3 19:18 ..
    -rw-r--r--  1 pedrocr pedrocr    8 Jan  3 19:22 bar
    -rw-r--r--  1 pedrocr pedrocr    4 Jan  3 19:20 foo
    drwxrwxr-x  7 pedrocr pedrocr 4096 Jan  3 19:24 .git
    lrwxrwxrwx  1 pedrocr pedrocr  178 Jan  3 19:24 testing -> .git/annex/objects/pX/ZJ/SHA256E-s0--e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855/SHA256E-s0--e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855

In this case "testing" is a broken link and was created on Side A.
