### Please describe the problem. I tried to add a Tahoe special remote as follows- git annex initremote tahoe type=tahoe embedcreds=yes However, this fails and gives me an error saying that tahoe create-client failed because .tahoe is not empty (even when .tahoe did not previously exist). It seems like git-annex is creating a .tahoe/git-annex directory (which is empty) and then trying to run tahoe create-client, which fails because the .tahoe directory was already created by git-annex. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Install tahoe and setup a plain git annex repo 2. export TAHOE_FURL=tahoe introducer url here 3. git annex initremote tahoe type=tahoe embedcreds=yes ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 5.20141024~bpo70+1 on Tails 1.2.1 (Debian Wheezy 32-bit) ### 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 $ git annex initremote tahoe type=tahoe embedcreds=yes initremote tahoe The base directory '/home/amnesia/.tahoe' is not empty.
