+### Please describe the problem.
+I'm using git-annex v6 in windows and seems `git annex get` fails.
+Deleting the pointer files and doing a hard reset seems to fix the problem.
+Another bug report named "v6 repo can not restore files with executable permission" seems to point to the same problem but a little different.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+I have a repo in D:\annex with a file `test`
+Now I create another repo:
+
+	$ cd H:\annex
+
+	$ git init
+	Initialized empty Git repository in H:/annex/.git/
+
+	$ git annex init "portable drive"
+	init portable drive
+	  Detected a filesystem without fifo support.
+
+	  Disabling ssh connection caching.
+
+	  Detected a crippled filesystem.
+
+	  Enabling direct mode.
+	ok
+	(recording state in git...)
+
+	$ git annex upgrade
+	upgrade . (v5 to v6...)
+	  Upgraded repository out of direct mode.
+
+	  Changes have been staged for all annexed files in this repository; you should run `git commit` to commit these changes.
+
+	  Any other clones of this repository that use direct mode need to be upgraded now, too.
+	ok
+
+	$ git remote add laptop D:/annex
+
+	$ git annex sync
+	commit  ok
+	pull laptop

+	failed
+	git-annex: get: 1 failed
+
+It seems to try to delete the pointer file, but finds the file in use. Maybe fsck is using it?
+

+
+	$ git annex lock
+	lock test git-annex: content not present; cannot lock
+
+And `git annex unlock` will do nothing.
+
+If you can't reproduce the problem, I'll run the tests for you.
