It turns out that +[a bug report](https://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Assistant_keeps_deleting_all_the_files_in_my_repo/) +was filed about the same problem, and at root +it seems to be a [bug in git merge](http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/297237). +Luckily, it was not hard to work around the strange merge behavior. + +It's been very worthwhile running the test suite on FAT; it's pointed me at +several problems with adjusted branches over the past weeks. It would be +good to add another test suite pass to test adjusted branches explicitly, +but when I tried adding that, there were a lot of failures where the test +suite is confused by adjusted branch behavior and would need to be taught +about it. + +I've released git-annex 6.20160613. If you're using v6 repositories and +especially adjusted branches, you should upgrade since it has many fixes. |
