+@Joey: it was a \"pretty large\" transfer, several hundred gigabytes in perhaps ~100000 files.  The copying was going to a GPG-encrypted directory remote.
+The error only happened once or twice so far.  Point taken about find in /proc; I'll do that if it happens next time.

+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I installed git-annex on my android device (Nook HD+, with Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed) for the first time today and was excited to get it working.  However, I noticed the device warming alarmingly, and, after installing a CPU usage monitor, it became clear that git annex was the problem, as it was hovering around 30-40% even when idle.
+
+I tried quitting git-annex using the webapp's "Shutdown Daemon" menu option, and it seemed to shut down successfully, but the CPU monitor still showed that process present and taking up high amounts of CPU (sometimes well over 50%).  I used the android app switcher and noticed that the terminal emulator for git annex was still running; I tried to quit this by using the X button and it seemed to close, but the CPU monitor still showed the git-annex process consuming large amounts of CPU.  Finally I had to quit the process forcefully from the monitor.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Install & run; observe CPU.  I used a dedicated CPU monitor to stop it the first time; another time, I tried stopping it by going to Preferences, Apps, Running Applications, where it told me it had one process and one service running.  I stopped the service without issue; it said the process could not be safely stopped but I stopped it anyway and that successfully stopped the app.
+
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+the current (4.20130826-g46f422) version on Android.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.

+If you shut down the daemon, it seems to me that the process that was still running would probably be `git annex transferkey` which runs in its own process to upload/download file contents. I normally see 0% to 1% cpu use from git-annex when it is running on my android tablet. It's possible that the 1% use is due to it waking up every second, which got fixed in 9dc2373977d583b4c4aa6cf0555dc97309f89991.

+OK, so I might have a rogue transferkey process going on, but one which starts over again when I restart the app?
+
+I've set this all up purely as a \"can I do this\" experiment right now; there is literally zero important data there to lose, either on the tablet or on the laptop, so maybe I could just write this off as a bad result of my first few shaky attempts to get the device paired with my laptop, wipe out both annexes, and start completely from scratch.

+Wiped out the repository I was using.  Cleared my data on the android app completely so I was starting from scratch.  Created a new repository on the laptop with a linked XMPP account and a ssh repo.  Fired up the android app and gave it the same XMPP credentials and the same ssh repo.
+
+I did not actually add any files to the repo.
+
+The application consumed 35% CPU on the Android tablet, idling, and has been ever since.
+
+This is the log; maybe something in it will explain the problem:

+a final note -- according to the process monitor, the process eating CPU is \"ga.androidterm\".  There are also a small swarm of about 6 git processes none of which are consuming much CPU time at all.

+It's certianly possible that the terminal app eats cpu for some reason even when sitting idle. It's hard for me to tell since I've been measuring cpu use by running top inside that terminal, which necessarily seems to use a lot of the CPU just to draw the screen.
+
+If it's the terminal at fault, it would continue after you shutdown the git-annex daemon, since that doesn't close the terminal.

+So this is a crash in the gnutls library used for XMPP. Someone else using OSX reported a similar crash to me by email, reproducible reliably by setting up xmpp with google. This is great debugging info:

+</pre>
+
+Looks like `gnutls_deinit` was called and it crashed there, inside pthread code. So I think git-annex has already managed to connect to the XMPP server (to test it) and the cleanup is where it's crashing.
+
+This is the second time I have seen a gnutls-related crash using XMPP. The other one was tracked down by John Millikin to a resource allocation bug in haskell-gnutls and fixed. 
+
+I have written a test case that reproduces the problem -- just forking a dozen threads that each try to connect to the google xmpp server and then close the connection. After a dozen or so succeed, one will reliably cause a segfault. Forwarded this test case to John.

+You could certianly do that. I don't think it's the easiest way.
+
+Note that this is essentially a git question. It really has nothing to do with git-annex, unless you want to use the git-annex assistant, which can sync a repository over XMPP without needing a central git repository at all.
+
+If I had this problem with git in general, I would make a new empty repository on the server, and push the local repository I have on the one machine to it. Then on the other machine, I would clone from the server. Problem solved, I think?

+The assistant is currently only able to transfer files that it has added itself. So if you disable syncing, you have to manually upload any files you add.
+
+I doubt that I will change this in the assistant, because supporting this use case would complicate it unnecessarily for a use case that is not what it's designed to do. It's more likely that `git annex sync` will get an option to also transfer file contents.

+@Chris yes in that case you still need, a central git repository (which need not be on a host that supports git-annex), or the assistant can use xmpp to sync the git data.
