+With a ssh remote using the p2p protocol, git-annex move of 2 files,
+with the first file no longer present in the remote (having moved
+elsewhere) and the second file still, fails like this:
+
+       move file1 (from remote...)
+       verification of content failed
+       failed
+       move file2 (from remote..)
+       Lost connection (fd:15: hGetChar: illegal operation (handle is closed))
+       transfer failed
+
+The problem is on the first move, the protocol does not handle a file
+that's not present well, so it's not clear why it failed. And since that
+closes the connection, the next move fails when it should not need to.
