### Please describe the problem. Every file I add to a watched repository (by git-annex assistant) becomes symlinked, and sub-subsequently write protected. Sorry if I'm missing something obvious. ### What steps will reproduce the problem? 1) Fresh install 2) create directory, init repo and git-annex 3) git annex assistant 4) add a file 5) ls -lsa to see the symlinked file 6) trying to write to the file throws a write-protected error ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? git-annex version: 4.20130725-g8140f7c build flags: Assistant Webapp Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV Inotify DBus XMPP local repository version: 3 default repository version: 3 supported repository versions: 3 4 upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2 Using the generic linux distribution with ./runshell on Ubuntu 13.04 (I saw this same behaviour from the ubuntu package, i.e. apt-get install git-annex) ### Please provide any additional information below.
