Hi,
As follow on from the above, I'm trying to repair the repo using the built-in tool from here: [[https://git-annex.branchable.com/git-annex-repair/]]
However, it seems to have problems on MacOS.
```
$ git annex repair
repair Running git fsck ...
Fsck found no problems. Checking for broken branches.
fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs/.DS_Store': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
fatal: ambiguous argument 'refs/heads/.DS_Store': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
^C
```
Somethings gone quite wrong if those .DS_Store files are showing up there.
I'd love to dig into the source for git-annex but I don't know Haskell...
Maybe this is a sign I should learn it?
The `uuid.log` problem in my previous post seems to have a bit of documentation here: [[https://git-annex.branchable.com/internals/]]
Maybe it has something to do with a previously failed clone attempt? I will dig some more tomorrow.
Liam
