yeah yeah... we have it all versioned ;)

Build-Depends:
 git-annex (>= 6.20160425) | git-annex-standalone (>= 6.20160425),
Depends:
 git-annex (>= 6.20160425) | git-annex-standalone (>= 6.20160425),

and I have checked -- backport build for stretch did install annex 6.20160511-1
and build passed. So ...

it might indeed be a git issue OR may be annex 6.20160511-1 incompatibility
with it ... indeed -- if I switch from git-annex-standalone build (built
and using older git as in stretch in july (2.8.1)), tests do fail for me
locally!

I will check a git-annex snapshot now, and report back...
