I'd like to do anything +possible to recover your repository. While investigating it, it looks +like, when the repository is not a fresh and empty repo, it doesn't +actually get completely nuked. Instead, the contents of the .git directory, +including annexed objects, is left in "removeme". It should be possible to +mostly recover from that. I can try to walk you through it if necessary. + +I know exactly what the cause of this bug is. It's a workaround for a bug +in some by now quite old versions of git-annex (from last year). That old bug +caused a .git/.git directory to be created, and so this workaround looks +for $GIT_DIR/.git and does what turn out to be horrible things in this +case. + +So, I have immediately removed that old workaround, so noone else will +encounter this. +"""]] |
