### 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)
|
||||
|
||||
Yes! We love it! Thank you so much! Git-annex is a superpower 🦹♂️

I have not been able to reproduce this so far in a usual environment.
|
||||
|
||||
It doesn't even run `git cat-file` in my testing, let alone do
|
||||
anything with it that fails.
|
||||
|
||||
AFAICS, for `git cat-file` to run, the `git ls-files --cached` that it does
|
||||
run would have to otput some filenames. Which should be impossible normally
|
||||
in a bare repository, because there is no index file in a bare repo.
|
||||
|
||||
So, there is something unusual about your repository
|
||||
or environment.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are two ways to reproduce that failure:
|
||||
|
||||
* Set `GIT_INDEX_FILE` to point to an index file belonging to some other
|
||||
git repository.
|
||||
* Copy .git/index from some other repository into the bare repository.
|
||||
|
||||
I guess you, or some past buggy thing, could have done the latter.
|
||||
Or perhaps you did the former and forgot about the envionment setting?
|
||||
|
||||
Anyway, I'll make git-annex check if it's a bare repo and skip this
|
||||
part entirely, but really it seems to me that either of those possibilities
|
||||
is pretty far into foot shooting territory and if git-annex explodes
|
||||
because you're doing stuff like that, it's hardly a bug. Of course,
|
||||
if you can somehow rule out both possibilities, that would be a different
|
||||
story.
