If you don't notice this you may lock it again and then propagate this bad version of the file to your other repositories. A simple workaround is to simply name it something else while unlocking and then rename it to the correct filename once it's completely copied. I don't know Haskel yet so I can not fix this issue otherwise I would sure try. A part from this, I love git annex. |
