I have been working the whole day zipping up (tar.gz) all the unused directories.
Now my real data dir looks like this:

    ./annex_real/work_done$ du -hs .
    1,1G	.
    Has 9088 files and 1608 directories in total:
    ./annex_real/work_done$ ls -R1l |grep \\-r |wc -l
    9088
    ./annex_real/work_done$ ls -R1l |grep ^d |wc -l
    1608

When I first started git annex, it added 5492 files, then next time it added the missing 3596 files. Then it stopped adding files.
From the gui everything looked fine even at the first start (performed startup scan), even in the log files (daemon.log.x) was nothing suspicious.

    ./annex_real/work_done$ for i in ../.git/annex/daemon.log.*; do echo $i; cat $i |grep files; done
     ../.git/annex/daemon.log.1
     ../.git/annex/daemon.log.2
     ../.git/annex/daemon.log.3
     ../.git/annex/daemon.log.4
     [2013-05-03 20:03:34 CEST] Committer: Adding 3596 files
     ../.git/annex/daemon.log.5
     [2013-05-03 19:15:22 CEST] Committer: Adding 5492 files

As you can see, this case is not a stress test at all, 
it is really the minimal test case, 1.1GB diskspace, 9088 files and a thousand dirs. 
The real question is, why git-annex miss at the first startup 3492 files (ie. adding all the files).

It would help tremendously, if it would display at startup how many files he found, 
and when it adds, then how many left to be added.
Something like this:

    (scanning...) [2013-05-03 20:03:14 CEST] Watcher: Performing startup scan
    (started...)
    [2013-05-03 20:03:34 CEST] Committer: Found 9088 files
    [2013-05-03 20:03:34 CEST] Committer: Adding 3596 files of 9088 remaining files (9088 in total)
    ....
    [2013-05-03 20:05:04 CEST] Committer: Adding 1492 files of 5492 remaining files (9088 in total)
    ....
    [2013-05-03 20:06:02 CEST] Committer: Adding 4000 files of 4000 remaining files (9088 in total)

So it is definietly a bug, and I stuck how to debug it further. Everything looks just fine.

Best, 
 Laszlo
