### Please describe the problem.

`git annex get --from=myremote' show "transfer already in progress, or unable to take transfer lock".

**Likely Problem discovered!** I copied the whole remote repo (was residing on a Linux machine accessed via SMB) and pasted it into my Mac. The problem was resolved. It is likely something to do with the fact that Mac OS filesystem is **case-insensitive**. I discovered this issue when I tried to copy that remote repo with ``cp`` rather than ``tar``ing it first.


### What steps will reproduce the problem?

Remote is on a Linux machine.
Do `git annex get' on a Mac OS.
Do the same on another Linux machine.

The git annex client on the Linux machine works.
Mac OS doesn't.

rsync version for all machines: 3.1.1

### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Yes.

It's wonderful. This should be a problem with Mac OS.
