I upgraded git to 1.9.0.msysgit.0, and managed to initialise git-annex:

    user@NOTEBOOK /d/pictures
    $ git init
    Initialized empty Git repository in D:/pictures/.git/
    
    user@NOTEBOOK /d/pictures
    $ git annex init \"laptop photos\"
    init laptop photos
      Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
    
      Disabling ssh connection caching.
    
      Detected a crippled filesystem.
    
      Enabling direct mode.
    ok
    (Recording state in git...)

But there's a message that it detected a crippled filesystem? What does that mean?

Running `git status` gives:

    user@NOTEBOOK /d/pictures
    $ git st
    fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

And then I run `git init`

    user@NOTEBOOK /d/pictures
    $ git init
    Reinitialized existing Git repository in D:/pictures/.git/
    
    user@NOTEBOOK /d/pictures
    $ git st
    On branch annex/direct/master
    
    Initial commit
    
    Untracked files:
      (use \"git add <file>...\" to include in what will be committed)
    
            2011/
            2012/
            2013/
            2014/
            dump/
            to burn/
    
    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use \"git add\" to track)

..and git works ok. Any suggestions what might be wrong?
