Does this happen only in a specific directory of files, or can you reproduce it elsewhere? You may be able to reproduce it exiting by running: `git check-attr --stdin annex.backend annex.numcopies --` And then entering filenames, pressing enter, and it should answer back with two attribute values and keep running.
