 I have a centralized repo on a small linux VM that I synchronize my workstations with, most are linux machines but one is a windows one.  I installed msysgit and git-annex for windows, and then run the following:
 
-```
-git clone ssh://user@IP.ADDRESS/home/user/annex annex  
 
-cd annex  
+    git clone ssh://user@IP.ADDRESS/home/user/annex annex  
+    cd annex  
+    git annex init 'windows'  
+    git annex copy --from origin  
 
-git annex init 'windows'  
-
-git annex copy --from origin  
-```
 
 So basically I am just trying to get a copy of the central repo onto this windows machine for starters and get:
 
-```

-rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(226) [sender=3.1.1]

-co  rsync failed -- run git annex again to resume file transfer  
-
-l dafailed

-ta stream (code 12) atcopy

 And I get this message for every file.
