I'm facing the same situation as the other commenters.

    git-annex version: 5.20131130-gc25be33
    [...]
    (merging gitlab/synced/git-annex into git-annex...)
    (Recording state in git...)
    fatal: Cannot force update the current branch.
    git-annex: failed to update refs/heads/master

Seems to be a problem with the command `git branch -f master`
