That was always a bit buggy, was hoping to upgrade to the new method. I also use git-annex on a bunch of Debian boxes, where it is wonderful. Have somewhere between ½ and ¾ TB data in git-annex, in enough repositories and copied to enough machines that I'd have to sit down and think about it to count them all.
