### Please describe the problem. I tried to add a bunch of files and one of the files contained a newline in its name. When doing 'git annex add .' it failed with an error that contained only the part of the filename before the newline. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Create a file with a newline in its name: ~/tmp $ touch 'file with newline'$'\n''line 2' ~/tmp $ mkdir annex ~/tmp $ cd annex/ ~/tmp/annex $ git init ~/tmp/annex $ git annex init init ok (recording state in git...) ~/tmp/annex $ cp ../file* . ~/tmp/annex $ git annex add . add file with newline line 2 git-annex: unknown response from git cat-file ("HEAD:./file with newline missing",Ref "HEAD:./file with newline\nline 2") ~/tmp/annex $ ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20161031 on Gentoo Linux ### Please provide any additional information below. [[!format sh """ # If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here. please see above # If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log # End of transcript or log. """]] ### 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) I hope to have very soon ;-) > This is a duplicate of [[this bug report|git_annex_import_fails_on_filenames_with_newlines_in_them]]. > Closing as dup.
