Only then does git-annex +try to add a "*.jpg" file, and when it doesn't exist, it exits with an +error, leaving the files it did add unstaged in git. + +To get out of that situation, just re-run git-annex add and actually list +the files or directories to add, rather than a wildcard that won't expand +to them.. + +I'll see if I can fix the behavior here, it should just fail when given an +un-expanded wildcard. +"""]] |
