+annex.thin can only work on filesystems that support hard links,
+so the most likely reason, from the information you have given,
+is that the repository is on a FAT or other non-hard-link supporting
+filesystem.

+
+It's working fine here as seen by the fact that bigfile
+has a link count of 2 after being unlocked.
+
+Other possibilies:
+
+* If the repository was cloned using `git clone --shared`,
+ annex.thin is not supported.
+* If there are multiple files in the working tree that have the same
+ content, annex.thin will only hard link one of them; the others
+ will be non-thin copies.
