### Please describe the problem. I use git annex on my phone on an encfs directory on a debian root put on a sdcard. After an interruption, it may happens that git-annex (or git?) changes the content of a file in the .git directory by a content in a file from the working directory.

Everything else works fine and fsck indicates no problem with the sdcard. This is a strange behavior that is a pain to solve, but today, I experienced something even stranger. Instead of writing the content into the .git/ directory. It was put in the encoded file in the crypt directory, with the path correctly encoded.
