+No. Direct mode makes this kind of problem less likely to occur.
+
+Are you only seeing this problem on OSX?
+
+My guess, which  is only a guess at this point is that while direct mode leaves files in-place etc, which should avoid this kind of problem, it does mess with their permissions berifly when ingesting them into the annex. The write bit is breifly turned off,
+while it checks that nothing currently has the file open to be written.
