So far nobody has given me enough information to +reproduce the problem. It seems to have something to do with +`git-annex-shell` not being found on the remote system that has been either +local paired with or is being used as a ssh server, but I don't yet +understand what. I have spent hours today trying various scenarios to break +git-annex and get this problem to happen. + +I certianly can improve the webapp's behavior when a repository's UUID is +not known. The easiest fix would be to simply not display such +repositories. Or there could be a UI to try to get the UUID. +But I'm more interested in fixing the core problem than putting +in a UI bandaid. diff --git a/doc/install/Windows.mdwn b/doc/install/Windows.mdwn index 9f223d8d5..c327d11ca 100644 --- a/doc/install/Windows.mdwn +++ b/doc/install/Windows.mdwn @@ -8,6 +8,13 @@ git-annex, many things will not work.
