### Please describe the problem. With a version above 5.20141125, git annex wants all remotes to get all files when one remote wants standard. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? - Create repo "a" and "b" - Add "b" as a remote of "a" - Add a file in "a" - In "a", try git annex copy --to b. Nothing happens: this is the excepted behaviour - In "a", run git annex wanted here standard - In "a", try git annex copy --to b. Now, it wants to copy the file to "b" without any obvious (to me) reason It may be useful to emphasis the fact that git-annex wanted to copy a file to "b" while we did not change the preferred content of "b". I tried with the version 5.20141125 and the problem does not occur. It occurs though with the versions, 5.20150731-1, 5.20150916-1 and 5.20150930-g40fdbe9. ### What version of git-annex are you using?

Why ?? """]] ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) Definitely! git-annex is a wonderful tool that I have been using every day to manage all my files for 2 years now. Thank you for this excellent software. > [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]]
