Indeed, if .git/index doesn't exist +yet when that is called, it'll crash. And, a freshly created git repo +starts off without a .git/index until changes start to be staged. + +However, I can't reproduce the crash with a current version of git-annex, +and this bug report is about a version nearly a year old now. AFAICS, +the sync (or the assistant) will make a commit before merging, and that +commit results in the index file being created, as a side effect. +Also, I can't see anything that VFAT could have to do with this. + +Hmm, I did manage to reproduce the crash using the new --no-commit flag to +git-annex sync. Will fix on that basis. +"""]] |
