+Found that
+
+git annex lock .
+
+
+fix it
+
+
+I guess when copied it kept in unlocked state which may be nothing but absence of symlink (layman term)
+So by this logic when I tried
+git annex lock .
+it fixed this problem.
+
+Not sure if here are any option/config to control this that
+when file first copies it should be directly put into locked state.
+
+
+Thanks
