Somehow, not having init call `scanAnnexedFiles` makes this bug go away.

+
+I have reopened this bug, it seems the previous fix was not right.
+See [[!commit b3c4579c7907147a496bdf2c73b42238d8b239d6]] for that
+fix, which had doubts at the time in the commit message. --[[Joey]]
+
+Here is a test case:
+
+ git init foo
+ cd foo
+ git annex init
+ echo 1 > foo
+ echo 2 > bar
+ echo 3 > baz
+ git annex add
+ git annex unlock
+ git commit -m add
+ cd ..
+ git clone foo bar
+ cd bar
+ git-annex get
+ cat *
+
+This outputs 1 for foo, followed by annex pointer files for files bar and baz.
+
+The previous fix attempt did make foo get populated, before that none
+of the files were populated.
