+When testing a new version of git-annex-remote-googledrive, I often use a wrapper script like this:
+
+```
+# .zshrc.local
+
+f_git_annex () {
+        log_file=$(mktemp \"$(git rev-parse --git-dir 2>/dev/null)/annex/debug.XXX.log\" 2>/dev/null)
+        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+                echo \"Error creating log file. Proceeding without logging.\"
+                git annex $@
+                return $?
+        fi
+
+        git annex $@ --debug 2> $log_file
+        if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then
+                echo \"Errors occurred. Debug log in $log_file\"
+                return $?
+        else
+                rm $log_file
+        fi
+      }
+alias ga='f_git_annex'
+```
+It's good enough for me in those cases. Changing the first line of the function to something like this
+```
+log_file=$(umask 077; mktemp /tmp/annex.debug.XXX.log\" 2>/dev/null)
+```
+would help against accumulating logs.
