Ran into this same problem just now. I can't start as I cant make a repository.
Error:
Internal Server Error
user error (git [\"--git-dir=/Users/Nathan/annex/.git\",\"--work-tree=/Users/Nathan/annex\",\"commit-tree\",\"4b825dc642cb6eb9a060e54bf8d69288fbee4904\"] exited 128)
git-annex version:
4.20130626-g2dd6f84
Could this have something to do with me first frigging around trying to get git-annex installed via homebrew? Maybe I broke something first?

Maybe git is broken somehow?
What you can do is run `/Volumes/git-annex/git-annex.app/Contents/MacOS/git-annex-webapp` manually, in a console, and hopefully there will be a more informative error message displayed there.

### Please describe the problem.
Adding a box.com repository fails with an Internal server error and the message "user error (gpg ["--quiet","--trust-model","always","--batch","--passphrase-fd","48","--symmetric","--force-mdc"] exited 2)"
Looking at the logfile it seems like git-annex is looking for gpg (gpg-agent) in /usr/local/MacGPG2/bin/. On my system it is in /usr/local/bin (installed using homebrew). I do not have the directory /usr/local/MacGPG2/.
Not sure if what the git-annex philosophy is: detect the location of such external programs or ship them together with git-annex.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
Add a box.com repository (I assume every repository type that uses gpg will fail in the same way) on a Mac.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
* git-annex version 4.20130626-g2dd6f84 (from https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/OSX/current/10.8.2_Mountain_Lion/)
* Mac OS 10.8.4
### Please provide any additional information below.

Hi Joey,
First, thanks very much for your effort put into git-annex. I store my photos in git-annex and I like it because:
* I want to store multiple copies of the pictures and I can see where they are,
* I can have a global view of the collection on my laptop without carrying all the files.
* the indirect mode makes it difficult to me to do stupid things.
So there's nothing fancy, but it works for me very well. From time to time I try the assistant's new features and I'm planning to replace Dropbox eventually.
Secondly, thanks very much for the dev blog! I was looking forward every morning to see what's coming next, what problems you are facing and how you're planning to solve them. It is simply amazing what you've achieved in the last year and your posts gave me a lot of motivation too (in finishing my thesis :-))!
Thanks!

Excerpt from a [longer comment](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Problems_with_syncing_gnucash/#comment-7d70d822a0fdf672ba09535f943af7c9) by Florian:
I know that my expectations in this project are a little bit high and I see how much work it was to get where we are now. Once again thank you for the excellent work done so far. I don't fear to synchronize important data with git-annex. I even use git-annex to backup and synchronize the member database for our club (wannabe hackerspace).

From a mail I received: --[[Joey]]
Git-annex makes it possible for me to have lots of data. Before I
started using it I had a music library and a few massive tar files,
none of it properly backed up, and occasionally there would be random
corruption (I still have broken mp3s which jump and stutter in places)
because I would carelessly cp them from HDD to HDD. So I'd avoid
actually letting data accumulate; this was inconvenient in itself.
Now git-annex does everything for me.
Following your development blog, as a novice programmer, has been
really enjoyable and interesting. My only experience of professional
IT has put me of but it's good to see you working through things
methodically and properly.

We use rsync and tar to backup to a server on the local network, and since we discoverd git-annex, we use this mechanism to automatically put all this data in both a local bup repo and a remote one. This gives us a daily full backup, with history available, both locally and off-site. Thanks to bup our 4T of data gets deduplicated to about 270G, only a couple of megs get transferred every night, and thanks to git-annex everything just works, like it should!

Hi,
I have moved all my photographs to an annex running on a Ubuntu file server while doing photo editing, presenting etc. on my MacBook. The annex is great in selectively moving files between these machines for editing and presentation purposes. I started using it around christmas season last year and added a glacier \"backup\" recently. My statistics: 6 repositories in total, more than 300GB (dedup'd from 380GB), 60.000 local keys.
What is missing from my point of view (and I would happily join crowd funding): stable windows and android versions, managing selective transfers from the assistant (select folders to be transferred from/to a specific repository), options for running the annex as a server daemon with web GUI (authentication to GUI + fixed URLs, status reports on GUI, etc.). All these would dramatically increase the WAF.
