There has been other reports of problems in the past, which I missed in my search because symptoms were different: - - * [[bugs/bare git repos]] - * [[forum/get and copy with bare repositories]] - -Yet while I was able to do `git annex get --all` *from* the `marcos-bare` repository, I still get the original error message while trying to `git annex copy -t marcos-bare`, which is pretty annoying considering the original files are on my laptop, which is not publicly accessible. So I basically need to add the `marcos-checkout` as a remote, copy there, then get from the bare repo to make this work, which is a rather convoluted way of doing things. :) - -It seems to me a proper fix would be to be able to `git annex copy --to marcos-bare`. Thanks! - -Update: it seems te problem was that I had the following in my `.git/config`: - - [remote "marcos-bare"] - url = ssh://anarcat.ath.cx/~/repos/presentations/ohm2013.git - annex-ignore = true - fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/marcos-bare/* - -I have *no* idea how that `annex-ignore` got there, but that was the root of my problem. Removing it it allowed my to do `git annex copy`. I really don't know how this happened, but I guess this is [[done]], although I believe this error message is really confusing and could be improved. --[[anarcat]] - -> `annex-ignore` is set automatically by git-annex if it fails to query -> the uuid of a remote the first time it tries to use it. It will say -> when it does that. The assumption -> is that a remote whose uuid cannot be looked up is a git remote -> on a server w/o git-annex support (like github) and it would be annoying -> to constantly be trying and failing to get that uuid. -> -> So, I've improved the error message.
