Remove the file from the git repository, and use `git annex unused; git
annex dropunused` in the other repositories.

This is not possible, git-annex does not require that all repositories
are always reachable, or that the current repository even knows where
all other repositories are.

git-annex sync only syncs git repositories, it does not do anything with the
contents of files.
