+Not quite there yet.
+
+git-annex init works now, but there is still a problem with paths:
+
+Using the same setup as previously, git-annex init now works: 
+
+    cd lib/submod
+    git annex init
+
+But adding a file failes:
+
+    git annex add big-file
+
+Output:
+
+    add big-file (checksum...) 
+    git-annex: big-file: getFileStatus: does not exist (No such file or directory)
+    failed
+    (Recording state in git...)
+    git-annex: add: 1 failed
+
+Debug:
