Check that the files involved are not available in the local repository. +2. Force a switch to direct mode to fail, for example, due to a 'exotic' filename +(first bug). +3. Solve that problem. +4. Make another switch to direct mode, but call that command in a subdirectory of +the git-tree. Which will because some annexed file does not exists (second bug). +Note: all subsequent switches to direct mode will now fail, no matter where started. + + +Example: + +mkdir test1 test2 && cd test1 && git init . && git annex init +mkdir umlaut something\ else +date > umlaut/this_has_a_$'\201' +date > something\ else/problem +git annex add . +git commit -m "Init" +cd ../test2/ + +git clone ../test1/ . && git annex init +git annex move --from origin . + +cd ../test1/ +git annex direct #aborts with: commitBuffer: invalid argument (invalid character) +cd umlaut +git mv this_has_a_$'\201' this_has_a_o +git commit -m "fix" +git annex direct # fails with getSymbolicLinkStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory) + +### What is the expected output?
