Please describe the problem.
Selectively auditing the files annexed on an S3 container, where the file is stored by keyname, I attempted to confirm that the file is also annexed locally.
When I run git-annex whereused --key , nothing comes up. But if I look for the file locally, I can see that it exists.
If I add --historical, I can see the file exists in some previous commit that I thought had been successfully merged, and moved on from. It seems like this might be related to export trees, because that keyword is also present in the output with --historical

My reading of the documentation is that the file being present in the local annex shouldn't require the --historical argument, which is much slower.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
As per above
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Love git-annex. Long time supporter.
