+ +What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? + +Compiled git annex from git (cbcd208d158f8e42dda03a5eeaf1bac21045a140), on Mandriva 2010.2, 32 bit, using ghc-7.4.1. + git version 1.7.1 + + +Please provide any additional information below. + +I also found that the version of git I have does not support the option: --allow-empty-message +So, suggest that if the version of git installed is an older version, that the params in Assistant/Threads/Committer.hs +are changed to [ Param "-m", Param "git assistant".... or something like that. + +I have done this on my copy for testing it. + +For testing, I am also using two repositories on the same computer. I set this up from the command line, as the web app does not seem to support syncing to two different git folders on the same computer.
