Bravo! Readonly annex merge support seems to mostly work on Windows, too, which frankly surprised me a bit. I was under
the impression that Windows was kind of a lost cause at times and no readonly-type support would be forthcoming on this
platform. :D So colour me surprised when `wanted`, `whereis` and `log` worked just like that. Only `info` gave me
trouble when I targeted a directory or file with it:

[[!format sh \"\"\"
B:\Reflect-varmistukset\Jarkon ThinkPad T450s (Win10 v21H1) . B [adjusted/master(unlocked)]> git annex info C4A845FD48C3E1A9-00-00.mrimg

An argumentless `info` works just fine:

[[!format sh \"\"\"

Should I file a bug, Joey? Or do you still think this is hardly worth pursuing? :)
