+I don't know what to make of this bug report. You say that \"C:\Users\Bruno\annex.git\config\" exists, but you show the creation of a \"C:\Users\Bruno\annex\", and not the other repository. I cannot reproduce it, even if I first \"git init --bare annex.git\".

+There's no other repo yet. I have the same problem when I try to sync between two repos but I simplified the instructions to reproduce the bug easily.
+
+Here's the instructions on Debian :
+[[!format sh \"\"\"
+bruno@debian:~$ mkdir annex
+bruno@debian:~$ cd annex
+bruno@debian:~/annex$ git init
+Initialized empty Dépôt git dans /home/bruno/annex/.git/
+bruno@debian:~/annex$ git annex init
+init  ok
+(Recording state in git...)
+bruno@debian:~/annex$ echo test > test
+bruno@debian:~/annex$ git annex add .
+add test (checksum...) ok
+(Recording state in git...)
+bruno@debian:~/annex$ git commit -a -m added
+[master (root-commit) 631049d] added
+ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
+ create mode 120000 test
+bruno@debian:~/annex$ git annex sync
+commit
+ok
+bruno@debian:~/annex$\"\"\"]]
+
+It seems --git-dir wants 'c:/...' instead of 'c:\\...'.
+
+[[!format sh \"\"\"
+C:\Users\Bruno\annex>git --git-dir=C:\\Users\\Bruno\\annex\\.git --work-tree=C:\\Users\\Bruno\\annex add -f test
+fatal: unable to access '../../../../C:\\Users\\Bruno\\annex\\.git/config': Invalid argument
+
+C:\Users\Bruno\annex>git --git-dir=C:/Users/Bruno/annex/.git --work-tree=C:\\Users\\Bruno\\annex add -f test
+
+C:\Users\Bruno\annex>\"\"\"]]
+
+It's weird that I don't have any problem with the following command:
+[[!format sh \"\"\"C:\Users\Bruno\annex>git --git-dir=C:\\Users\\Bruno\\annex\\.git --work-tree=C:\\Users\\Bruno\\annex config -l
+core.symlinks=false
+core.autocrlf=true
+[...]\"\"\"]]
+
+Maybe there's a problem with `git version 1.8.4.msysgit.0`.

+So this is a problem with msysgit 1.8.4. I have been able to reproduce it with that version. 1.8.3 did not have the problem.
+
+Seems to perhaps be due to the cygwin xargs flipping git into cygwin path mode somehow. (How all this works is massively complex and confusing to me.)
+All the other calls to git with identical parameters work fine. I can also reproduce the problem using some old git 1.7.x in the cygwin terminal.
+
+BTW, I noticed in your example that you ran \"git commit -a\". You should **never** do that in a [[direct mode]] repository. Read the direct mode documentation to understand why.
