On openSUSE 12.3 with this version (which I'm sure is horribly old):

    git-annex version: 4.20130314
    local repository version: 3
    default repository version: 3
    supported repository versions: 3 4
    upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2
    build flags: Assistant Webapp Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV Inotify DBus XMPP DNS

I ran 'git annex get' on a large repository, and got this:

    [snipped]
    git-annex: /home/adam/music/.git/annex/transfer/failed/download/9c930baf-6b25-4294-b1f9-a90ba9663fb7/SHA1-s7227476--49d203960b062ec00c0d1d7042c4b6aa6720b976: openFile: resource exhausted (Too many open files)
    failed
    git-annex: runInteractiveProcess: pipe: Too many open files

    git-annex: git: runInteractiveProcess: resource exhausted (Too many open files)
    failed
    git-annex: get: 1207 failed

Then I ran it again and saw that after every file retrieved, git-annex leaks another lockfile.  lsof shows an ever increasing number of files like this:
