+* sim: updateSimRepoState turns out to call preferredContentSet repeatedly
+  and also preferred content changes made part way through the sim 
+  seem to not take effect. Test case is this, which should not end 
+  by getting a file into bar that it no longer wants, and which was just
+  dropped.
+
+  Note that this test case does not behave this way if the final
+  step is run in a separate git-annex sim command. It's only when
+  it's run by git-annex sim start that it does.
