### Please describe the problem. Attempting to do *anything* with an S3 reomote using git-annex on windows fails with error code 10093 (i.e. WSA_NOT_INITIALISED). ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Assuming you have a disabled S3 remote called "the-cloud" (e.g. a fresh clone) [[!format sh """ C:\annex> git annex enableremote "the-cloud" enableremote the-cloud gpg: WARNING: using insecure memory! gpg: please see http://www.gnupg.org/documentation/faqs.html for more information (checking bucket...) (creating bucket in ap-southeast-2...) git-annex-old: FailedConnectionException2 "my-bucket-name.s3-ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com" 80 False getAddrInfo: does not exist (error 10093) """]] ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex 5.20150113-gcf247cf on windows 8.1 ### Please provide any additional information below. This error is caused by the Winsock library not being initialised before a socket operation is attempted. The patch below fixes the issue, and it should be a no-op on non-Windows platforms.
