But uploading files does not work as expected. It does upload some data, but does not move the data to the corresponding folder (from 'tmp' to $hash): git annex copy --debug --to webdav 1354580391258.jpg [2015-12-20 20:31:36.985579] read: git [\"--git-dir=.git\",\"--work-tree=.\",\"--literal-pathspecs\",\"show-ref\",\"git-annex\"] [2015-12-20 20:31:36.990098] process done ExitSuccess [2015-12-20 20:31:36.990584] read: git [\"--git-dir=.git\",\"--work-tree=.\",\"--literal-pathspecs\",\"show-ref\",\"--hash\",\"refs/heads/git-annex\"] [2015-12-20 20:31:36.993635] process done ExitSuccess [2015-12-20 20:31:36.994311] read: git [\"--git-dir=.git\",\"--work-tree=.\",\"--literal-pathspecs\",\"log\",\"refs/heads/git-annex..2ff0c487bc1c92c11a45131b55f6fb2ba034071d\",\"-n1\",\"--pretty=%H\"] [2015-12-20 20:31:36.998675] process done ExitSuccess [2015-12-20 20:31:36.999747] chat: git [\"--git-dir=.git\",\"--work-tree=.\",\"--literal-pathspecs\",\"cat-file\",\"--batch\"] [2015-12-20 20:31:37.003483] read: git [\"--git-dir=.git\",\"--work-tree=.\",\"--literal-pathspecs\",\"ls-files\",\"--cached\",\"-z\",\"--\",\"1354580391258.jpg\"] copy 1354580391258.jpg (checking webdav...)

As you can see, on the left side (aka 'the uploaded file') the first two hexadecimal values are missing in comparison to the right side (the source), so the first byte is missing. I guess in the end it is still the same problem, right :)? """]]
