I have a git remote in a git-annex-enabled repository. Here's what it looks like in .git/config:
[remote "renaissance"] url = ssh://[2001:0:53aa:64c:24ef:5ce4:2ef9:cdda]/home/paulproteus/Music/annex/ fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/renaissance/* annex-uuid = 2992752e-1a13-11e0-ba68-57d3c800da64I wanted to "git annex get" some data. git-annex appears to pass incorrectly-formatted IPv6 addresses to rsync:
get primary/emusiq/Arab Strap/Monday At The Hug And Pint/01-The Shy Retirer.mp3 (copying from renaissance...) ssh: Could not resolve hostname [2001:0:53aa:64c:24ef:5ce4:2ef9:cdda]: Name or service not known rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(601) [Receiver=3.0.7] rsync failed -- run git annex again to resume file transfer Unable to access these remotes: renaissance Try making some of these repositories available: 2992752e-1a13-11e0-ba68-57d3c800da64 failedIn this case, the square brackets should not be there. I tried changing the .git/config syntax slightly, and got a different, also-incorrect behavior:
[remote "renaissance"] url = [2001:0:53aa:64c:24ef:5ce4:2ef9:cdda]:/home/paulproteus/Music/annex/ fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/renaissance/* annex-uuid = 2992752e-1a13-11e0-ba68-57d3c800da64
