### Please describe the problem.
I was attempting to comment on this patch:
but adding the comment fails with:
`Error: failed to create directory /home/b-git-annex/source/doc/todo/PATCH__58___drop_url_parameters_from_extension.hs/: File exists`
(this appears to be repeatable.) At a guess there's actually a file there for the patch... which is why it can't make a directory.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Go to
2. Log in
3. Click "Add comment"
4. Enter comment with subject/body
5. Try to save the comment
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
N.A.
### Please provide any additional information below.
FTR, the original comment I was trying to make was basically "yes, please add this patch" -- but more verbosely:
"""This would be very useful. **libsyn** seem to have changed their podcast URLs over the last couple of weeks to *always* add a `?dest_id=...` suffix (and changed the historical URL of every single podcast on any feed on their service, the next time it is rebuilt, which has led to a few large sets of duplicate downloads and a bunch of manual cleanup to avoid large duplicate downloads on the ones I noticed in time). For now I've been doing manual "git mv" as I notice new ones coming in (a few every week), but I'd really prefer it happened automatically."""
### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
Lots of luck with git-annex. It's extremely useful as both a distributed content store, and also as a podcatcher. Thanks for writing it :-)
