possible dataloss when pushing to a remote without git-annex-shell

[Rolf Leggewie]

The following will lead to dataloss when the remote rsync server does not have git-annex-shell installed:

git annex initremote datalossremote type=gcrypt gitrepo=rsync://user@host:path/repo.git keyid=something_here
git annex sync
echo test > test.txt
git annex add test.txt
git annex move test.txt --to=datalossremote
git annex get test.txt

The get command will fail and the file is no longer present locally -> dataloss.
