 The final move fails, complaining it's not safe to drop the last copy. It
 has somehow lost track of the fact that there's a local copy.
 
-This only happens when using assist. Using add followed by sync --content

+Actually... This also happens not using assist, just add:
+
+        git init g
+        cd g
+        git annex init
+        git commit --allow-empty -m foo
+        cd ..
+        git clone g g3

+        date > n
+        git-annex add --jobs=2
+        git-annex whereis
+
+(The clone of g to g3 is for some reason needed... Without that remote, the
+bug doesn't happen.)
+
+Somehow, when add calls logStatus, getUUID == NoUUID, so it doesn't record
+anything. This despite it having initialized with a UUID earlier.
+Even with a manual git-annex init before the command that still happens.
