What steps will reproduce the problem? try to unlock a file in a git annex checkout What is the expected output? What do you see instead? % git annex unlock FILENAME unlock FILENAME (copying...) cp: illegal option -- - usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file target_file cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-fi | -n] [-apvX] source_file ... target_directory git-annex: copy failed! (should unlock the file) What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? latest git annex osx build as of yesterday (12-11-03) > I've made the `cp` command be included in the OSX standalone build, > so it will use the same one it's built with. So the next time we get > an OSX build this will be fixed. [[done]] --[[Joey]]
