Setup:
mkdir 1 2
echo apple | tee 1/a | tee 1/a_
Then run fclones group -I --unique 1 2
Result:
# Report by fclones 0.35.0

# Command: fclones group -I --unique 1 2
# Base dir: /tmp/test/fclonestest
# Total: 12 B (12 B) in 2 files in 1 groups
# Redundant: 0 B (0 B) in 0 files
# Missing: 6 B (6 B) in 1 files

I suppose that when fclones is used with -I (--isolate) without --uniques, it filters files in the same directory by internally marking them as unique. Adding --unique simply inverts which files are printed out.
