We have the correct symlink:

$ ls -lh Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 204 Apr  8 20:22 Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 -> .git/annex/objects/6q/Wz/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4

The object is in place:

$ ls -lh .git/annex/objects/6q/Wz/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4

Now I move the symlink, which becomes broken:

$ mv Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 Videos/

I try to fix the symlink:

$ git annex sync
$ git annex fix Videos/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 

But it stays broken:

$ ls -lh Videos/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 204 Apr  8 20:22 Videos/Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 -> .git/annex/objects/6q/Wz/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4/SHA256E-s1463013630--2a18a317a536d8e2d28e7916a45a007679b7192102a71067de488c9faa6aab45.mp4

Ah, when I try to git mv Sita_Sings_the_Blues_480p_2150kbps.mp4 Videos/, I am warned that the link is not under version control. How did the symlink get made in the first place, if not by git-annex? It should be known, right?

After I git annex add, I can git mv and then git annex fix.

How did I get into the state where I have a symlink pointing at an imported object, which is not under version control?
