[[!comment format=mdwn username="joey" subject="""comment 1""" date="2015-02-10T17:29:44Z" content=""" I recently fixed a bug that would likewise cause git-annex to fail on windows with a large file, although I didn't see it failing with this message. There's a good chance that git-annex version 5.20150205 might fix this problem. I was able to successfully use git-annex with a 6 gb file, after the fixes. Please check, and followup. I'm closing this bug provisionally in the meantime. """]]
