-Since adding a certain directory of files (just a bunch of PDFs) yesterday I am getting errors when I try to use `git annex drop .` when the files aren't present, rather doing nothing or saying 'ok', as it used to do/should do. The errors are of the form `git-annex: fd:10: hGetLine: end of file` and sometimes of the form `git-annex: fd:17: hFlush: resource vanished (Broken pipe)`. In my `daemon.log`, I have the errors

-If I `git annex get` the files and then drop them again, a further attempt at a drop gives all these errors again.

-> So in summary, a git-annex built against the old version of git in
-> debian stable fails to work with a newer version of git, and rebuilding
-> fixes it. FWIW, the git-annex backport to stable does not have this
-> problem, because it checks git version at runtime. But I want to avoid
-> the overhead of that check in git-annex mainline, because this old git
-> version is well, very old and increasingly unlikely to be used. So,
-> I don't think any changes to git-annex are warrented. [[done]] --[[Joey]]
