One git-annex repo refuses to see if remotes have files

[Adam Spiers]

Looks to me like you got the order wrong - don't you need
to commit and push *before* the git annex copy? Otherwise
the meta-data for doc.2012.tar.gz isn't in the git-annex branch
when the annex copy is done and it will just copy the previous
contents of oldscm to metaarray, without the new file.
