### Please describe the problem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When I clone git-annex with:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I get errors about filenames being too long and the checkout fails after the clone:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ git clone git://git-annex.branchable.com/ git-annex
|
||
|
|
Cloning into 'git-annex'...

warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.

You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
|
||
|
|
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I would like to contribute, but I was a bit surprised by this problem right when I wanted to poke around in the code.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After the clone attempt running `git status` in the checkout directory produces a **huge** amount of output about deleted files and changes to the repo:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
On branch master
|
||
|
|
Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'.

Changes to be committed:
|

### What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just try to clone it.

### 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)
|

git-annex looks like a really promising project for my personal backups solution involving usb disks, and some external services such as Backblaze B2. I wanted to look into improving Backblaze B2 support (large file support, etc).
