+after it fails, i use ctrl-c to break out of the command in fear of it messing up the current state of the tree that is exported to my android device
+
+also it appears that someone else is having this issue as well, but they posted it in the comment section of the adb remote tutorial page instead of filing a bug report

+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
+git annex has been great so far, aside from some pitfalls on some of the more advanced features, i have been using it to manage my files using all kinds of special and non special remotes very solidly for 2 years now.
