The partial commit blocking is explained in
[[!commit adc5ca70a8095a389273e7c286cb32de6873a5a3]]
I take this as not being a bug about the partial commit
blocking (as explained in
[[!commit adc5ca70a8095a389273e7c286cb32de6873a5a3]]), which is working
around a git behavior and so can't be fixed other than by going to v6.
That is working around a behavior of git, so it cannot be improved in
git-annex. If it didn't block partial commits, the repository would be left
in a broken state. The error message explains what you need to do.
(The best fix for this issue is making v6 mode work well enough to ditch v5
mode. This is indeed one of the motivations for v6 mode in the first place.)
So I don't see a bug here except possibly with the part where git commit -a
commits to annex not git.
Instead, I think this is a bug about git annex add of an unlocked file
not converting it to a in-git file when annex.largefiles says it ought
to. If it did that it would not run into the partial commit blocking
at all. And, the observersion about git commit -a committing to the annex
not to git points at the same problem.
