Hi, I have created a git annex repo, added data. I then went to check it out in another location in the following way (my goal is to checkout origin, add a test file, push it back to origin). git clone ../test_repo/ 282 17:19 cd test_repo/ 283 17:19 ls 284 17:19 git status 285 17:22 git annex init DEV 286 17:22 touch test.txt 287 17:22 vi test.txt 288 17:22 git annex merge 289 17:22 git annex add test.txt 290 17:22 git commit -am "test" 291 17:23 git push origin master git-annex However I am getting the following error Counting objects: 3, done. Delta compression using up to 48 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 364 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
