What steps will reproduce the problem? As a default user i want to start git-annex assistent with `$ git-annex webapp` `git-annex: Not in a git repository.` What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would expect the assistent to popup in a opened browser window. What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? Debian wheezy with git-annex version: 3.20130114 Please provide any additional information below. Its working if i start `git-annex webapp` as root. I had the same error on previous version. > I've made some improvements. Think this was user error. [[done]] > --[[Joey]]
