-Here is the relevant bug: <http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Can__39__t_add_a_git_repo_to_git_annex:___34__Invalid_path_repo__47__.git__47__X__34___for_many_X>
-
-Here's my scenario: I have been using Dropbox for several years. I want to move to git-annex.
-
-For some time I used Bazaar repos inside Dropbox. A couple of times I accidentally modified files on one computer before another finished syncing, and the repo became mildly corrupted, but I recovered it okay.
-
-Recently I switched to git, and so far, so good. I'm careful not to make any changes to my files before Dropbox is finished syncing, so everything works fine.
-
-But when I add a directory containing a git repo to an annex, git-annex ignores the .git directory, so the repo isn't synced.
-
-I read this forum thread, and I read the bug report, but there don't appear to be any real solutions.
-
-This seems like what should be a fairly common use case: a user has a directory of simple text files, like shell scripts or org-mode files. He uses git to version-control them, and he uses Dropbox to sync the files and the git repo automatically between computers. Now the user wants to use git-annex instead, but if he does this, it will mean having to choose between:
-
-* No longer using git to version-control the files
-* Only using git on a single system, which means that he can't make commits or do any other git operations when using other systems
-* Keeping separate git repos on each system, and making the same commits manually on each one...which would be a mess
-* Keeping separate git repos on each system, and using a script to make commits automatically--which would mean commits wouldn't be any more useful than a simple timed backup script
-
-I guess I could just use git instead of Dropbox or git-annex, but then I must choose between either:
-
-* Only being able to sync repos when both systems are online
-* Having to store repos in plaintext on remote servers
-
-This is one of my primary use cases for Dropbox/git-annex. I'd really appreciate any help in figuring this out. Thanks.
