I have a git-annex repository on a USB drive (full of pictures), however, when I go to the actual drive:
$ cd /run/media/hinmanm/MINIDRIVE1/pics
$ ls -lh australia-2014-03
I get:
-rw-r--r--. 1 hinmanm hinmanm 1.1K Aug 22 2015 IMG_20140321_181130.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 hinmanm hinmanm 1.1K Aug 22 2015 IMG_20140321_181137.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 hinmanm hinmanm 1.1K Aug 22 2015 IMG_20140321_181221.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 hinmanm hinmanm 1.1K Aug 22 2015 IMG_20140321_181228.jpg
-rw-r--r--. 1 hinmanm hinmanm 1.1K Aug 22 2015 IMG_20140321_181233.jpg
... hundreds more .jpg files that are all 1.1K ...
It looks like the files think they are symlinks, instead of pictures:
```
$ cat australia-2014-03/IMG_20140321_181233.jpg

Running `git-annex fsck` doesn't do anything, and trying to do `git-annex indirect` gives me:
```
$ git-annex indirect
git-annex: This repository seems to be on a crippled filesystem, you must use direct mode.
```
It looks like there is still a bunch of data in `.git/annex`, as its 6.7gb. Is there a way I can get the files back and get git-annex working again, right now none of my photos are available :(
