+### Please describe the problem.
+
+when unlock multiple files, files are not hard linked
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+I don't really know. 
+Currently I have a repository that exhibits the problem:
+
+%git status --> all clean
+
+# this works as expected
+%git annex unlock bucket/tata
+%ls -li bucket/tata
+33292697 -rw-rw-r-- 2 karl qbstaff 102400000 Dec  7 19:02 bucket/tata
+%find . -inum 33292697
+./bucket/tata
+./.git/annex/objects/V0/3Z/SHA256E-s102400000--c50bbc52a81112507134d764ec570ab373be5c4a3b1dd1d87ce609d14d031a17/SHA256E-s102400000--c50bbc52a81112507134d764ec570ab373be5c4a3b1dd1d87ce609d14d031a17
+git annex lock bucket/tata
+
+
+# this does not
+%git annex unlock bucket/
+%ls -li bucket/tata 
+33292708 -rw-rw-r-- 1 karl qbstaff 102400000 Dec  7 19:02 bucket/tata
+%find . -inum 33292708
+./bucket/tata
+
+As you can see, now the inode is wrong (different from the annex object file), and the unlocked file is not a hard link.
+This is really annoying, I switched to V6 for this particular feature, I have a large repository to update and it takes ages since files are copied instead of hard linked.

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+
+Yes, we use it on a daily basis and love it.
+Note that we will have to switch to LFS because gitlab no longer supports git annex from v9 release.
