I am getting errors when I try to do `sync --content`. I have a git-annex repo on my laptop and I sync all content to an S3 compatible remote (Dreamhost DreamObjects). I ran the following command in my attempt to better understand the issue:

    andrew@bumblebee ~/notes$ git-annex --verbose --debug sync --content cloud &> /tmp/sync_log_2016-11-7-7pm.log

For reference the repos preferred content settings are:

    andrew@bumblebee ~/notes$ git-annex wanted here
    standard
    andrew@bumblebee ~/notes$ git-annex group here
    manual
    andrew@bumblebee ~/notes$ git-annex wanted cloud
    standard
    andrew@bumblebee ~/notes$ git-annex group cloud
    backup
    andrew@bumblebee ~/notes$ 

Looking at the log file I see errors like this, repeated dozens of times:

    fatal: '../Users/andrew/notes/cv/submissions/BCA_Submission/small_images/macropavilion_2016_IMG_0297.jpg' is outside repository
    [2016-11-07 19:34:37.542383] process done ExitFailure 128
    [2016-11-07 19:34:37.542473] chat: git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","check-attr","-z","--stdin","annex.backend","annex.numcopies","annex.largefiles","--"]
    fatal: '../Users/andrew/notes/cv/submissions/BCA_Submission/small_images/macropavilion_2016_IMG_0297.jpg' is outside repository
    [2016-11-07 19:34:37.551241] process done ExitFailure 128

The relative path `../Users` is curious. `/Users/andrew` is the absolute path of my home directory (I am on OS-X 10.11.6); `/Users/andrew/notes` is the absolute path of my git-annex repo.

the above logs are followed by:

    git-annex: git check-attr EOF: user error
    failed

    git-annex: fd:24: hFlush: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
    failed

hFlush lines appears hundreds of times, then change to:

    git-annex: fd:24: commitBuffer: resource vanished (Broken pipe)
    failed

commitBuffer lines also apear hundreds of times.

Then the logs move onto successful transfers, and similar errors repeat with different file names.

I have tried `git annex fsck` on the local repo, and also tried `git annex fsck --fast --from=cloud` (although I didn't let it finish) and didn't see any errors. Thoughts?



Thanks,
Andrew
