Please describe the problem.

In the context of exploring solution for drawing a map of the clones I was reminded about annex map which I actually forgot about even if knew.

Immediate attempt to try on a local repo for the use case depicted in aforementioned post I got an infinite loop of

map origin (sshing...) 
ok
map origin (sshing...) 
ok
...

where origin and related (bare) repo are

[remote "origin"]
    url = sensored:/inbox/BIDS/Wager/Wager/1076_spacetop
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    annex-uuid = 590b4fd0-0142-4e9d-8964-d1158c242c6a
[remote "rolando-exchange"]
    url = sensored:/inbox/BIDS/Wager/Wager/1076_spacetop.git
    annex-uuid = 40795e62-527c-4d26-ae8c-af42a6e2da5a
    fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/rolando-exchange/*

Rerunning with --debug showed that it seems to grow target path via referencing itself via ../1076_spacetop.git/ (

and on origin remote I have

> git -C /inbox/BIDS/Wager/Wager/1076_spacetop/ remote show spacetop-rolando-exchange
* remote spacetop-rolando-exchange
  Fetch URL: ../1076_spacetop.git/
  Push  URL: ../1076_spacetop.git/
  HEAD branch: master
  Remote branches:
    deface-bidsonym-1 new (next fetch will store in remotes/spacetop-rolando-exchange)
    git-annex         tracked
    master            tracked
    try-redo-intended new (next fetch will store in remotes/spacetop-rolando-exchange)
    unredacted-master tracked
  Local refs configured for 'git push':
    git-annex pushes to git-annex (local out of date)
    master    pushes to master    (local out of date)

What steps will reproduce the problem?

run git annex map in my situation

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
