It *almost* worked but failed because it cannot rename the git-annex It *almost* worked but failed because it cannot rename the git-annex

writable. The workaround is to create those directories if missing
(`mkdir -p`) or change the mode if present (`chmod u+w`), then run
`git-annex-fsck` which will fix those modes.
