### Please describe the problem.
Starting with git 2.37, `git annex init` fails with a lock issue.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Run `git annex init` with git version > 2.36 (I tested 2.37.0 and 2.37.1)
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
10.20220624-g17e4081d4 on Arch Linux
### Please provide any additional information below.

# 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

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes
are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process
may have crashed in this repository earlier:
remove the file manually to continue.

### 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 ! git-annex is my goto tool for file storage.
