+You should **never, ever, ever** run `git pull`, or `git checkout` inside a direct repository. You need to read [[direct_mode]]. If you do not fully understand it, you should avoid running any git commands that are not `git annex foo` in a direct mode repository. If you forget and do run such git commands, you can generally recover by running `git annex fsck`, although it's possible that the git command you run overwrites your only copy of a file, and so you'd lose it.

+I'll bet that if you look at the `git config` of this repository it failed to push to, you'll find that it has `receive.denyNonFastforwards` set to true. If you unset that, the push should work.
