+Hi Joey,
+
+Thanks for your careful reply.  
+
+Easy things first:
+
+I *never* add anything from the terminal, though I may do checks and `git annex get`, since sometimes the assistance actually grab the updated files.  Until recently I started git annex automatically on boot, but at the moment it simply renders my laptop useless for too long -- presumably due to the errors investigated here.
+
+I use btrfs (don't ask me why).  Searching online, I did not find a way to find the size of inodes, but I assume that it's sensible?  tune2fs doesn't work but as I understand it is designed for ext*.
+
+What takes up space in my `.git/objects` is files of several Mb.  So at the moment the `pack` folder is 700mb.  In the next biggest folder there's three files that are 73,4mb and 8 files that are 4kb.  This pattern repeats.  A couple of large files (73,4 shows up quite a bit as well as 45) and many small files. 
+
+I have an astonishing amount of dangling objects.  In the `doc.annex` `git rev-list HEAD --count` gives 27354.  In this repo I have 1108 unreachable blobs and commits, respectively 569 and 539.  This probably explains why `git prune` solves my problem but I don't understand why all these large files reappears when I sync -- even after having run `git prune` on both laptops.  Could they come from the `annex` on my remote server?
+
+`git show` isn't nice on blobs, but here is an example of a dangling commit
+

+There are several things I don't understand.  Why is the author root?  I never run `git annex` with `sudo` or as root.  I think the date is bogus.  I'm pretty sure I wasn't even running `git annex` in 2012 much less working with this repo. . . What is weird is that this is the date for *all* lost commits!  (Same for Author).  Over all lost commits there are 2352 binary files that differ.  Of these there are 284 unique hashes. . .  I don't know what this means other than my repo being seriously messed up.  I don't understand what I did wrong to end up in this state as I have been fairly careful in mainly using the `webapp`.
+
+I wonder if the best way to proceed is to start over, or whether this repo can be recovered.

+Thanks,
