+### Please describe the problem.
+directory 1.3.0.0 causes a conflict for "getFileSize"
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Build git-annex with directory 1.3.0.0 (first need to bump max directory version on concurrent-output (and aws if building with s3))
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+6.20161210 on macOS 10.11 El Capitan
+
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.

+"""]]
+
+A fix, though possibly not best, is to make this change in Common.hs:
+[[!format sh """
+import Utility.Directory as X hiding (getFileSize)
+"""]]
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+Yes :)
