Please describe the problem.

I have cloned via http and then went offline... decided to get a file, annex immediately tried to fetch it from origin which it couldn't have access to atm and marked it as annex-ignore. IMHO it is a bit premature action, and annex should mark a remote as ignore only if it managed to reach the remote location and discovered that it has no annex there, not on a mere connectivity fluke

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

6.20160425+gitgffe2ea2-1~ndall+1

Please provide any additional information below.

$> git annex get cond001.txt
(merging origin/git-annex into git-annex...)

get cond001.txt 
  Remote origin not usable by git-annex; setting annex-ignore
