The problem might somewhere within Git, because Git does not manage file permissions very well. I was just hoping that I could import large directory trees into git-annex with a simple call to "git annex import"; now it seems I have to fix their permissions first. - -### What steps will reproduce the problem? - - $ cd /tmp - $ mkdir -p folder/subfolder - $ echo "some text" > folder/subfolder/some_file.txt - $ chmod 500 folder/subfolder - $ mkdir annex - $ cd annex - $ git init - $ git annex init "Testing git annex" - $ git annex import ../folder - Fails - $ chmod 600 ../folder/subfolder - $ git annex import ../folder - Fails - $ chmod 700 ../folder/subfolder - $ git annex import ../folder - Works.
