### Please describe the problem. Modifying an annexed file with unlock then commit leaves the link with permissions 777 and git status reports a typechange, which makes checkout impossible. Resolves by running git unlock on the file. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? echo foo > test.txt git annex add test.txt git commit -a -m "first" git annex unlock test.txt echo foobar > test.txt git commit -a -m "second" git status (notice typechange message) git unlock test.txt (corrects and retains both versions) ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 3.20120406 local repository version: 3 default repository version: 3 supported repository versions: 3 upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2 git version 1.7.9.5 ### Please provide any additional information below. [[!format sh """ # If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here. # If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log # End of transcript or log. """]] [[!tag confirmed]] [[!meta title="git commit of unlocked file leaves typechange staged in index"]] > [[fixed|done]]; git-annex pre-commit will block such commits from being > made. Git devs didn't seem to have a way to improve its behavior. --[[Joey]]
