+That's weird. It does work for me:
+
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex group .
+	
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex group . transfer
+	group . ok
+	(recording state in git...)
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex group . manual
+	group . ok
+	(recording state in git...)
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex ungroup . transfer
+	ungroup . ok
+	(recording state in git...)
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex group .
+	manual
+
+That's with exactly the same version of git-annex too (10.20221003).
+
+The "Specify a repository and a group." error is only
+displayed when there are not exactly 2 parameters. You
+seem to be providing exactly 2, but it seems we need
+to rule out the possibility that something (eg the shell, a
+wrapper program, or git) is causing some other number of
+parameters to be provided..
+
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>strace -o log git-annex ungroup . transfer
+	ungroup . ok
+	(recording state in git...)
+	joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>grep execve log
+	execve("/usr/bin/git-annex", ["git-annex", "ungroup", ".", "transfer"], 0x7ffde3606738 /* 66 vars */) = 0
