+Hi,
+
+I keep importing data to my git annex, which gets bigger.
+
+Today while importing an old archive (with lots of files), git import failed with this unhelpful message:
+
+ $ git annex import /Users/public/Documents
+ import Documents/.DS_Store
+ not importing Documents/.DS_Store which is .gitignored (use --force to override)
+ failed
+ ...
+ import Documents/Recettes/recettes nicoises/20130511_201509.jpg ok
+ (recording state in git...)
+ git-annex: import: 10 failed
+ CallStack (from HasCallStack):
+ error, called at ./CmdLine/Action.hs:41:28 in main:CmdLine.Action
+
+It seems no data was lost: I could finish the import with "git commit" (and diff -R with the backup shows no difference). But I would like to know what did happen.
+And also what does the "10" mean in this context and how to get more information?
+
+Note that I might have a real problem on this system
+
+* many filenames have extend chars
+* I'm not sure the mac OS locale setup is OK
+* I'm quite low on disk space and inodes:
