 I had run git-annex with a new repo with just doing a git init and git annex init, I just threw in one or two small text files to see if it was working. It just hangs and does nothing. I had also tried it out on one of my bigger repos and it does the same thing it just hangs at _(scanning...)_ There isn't much to go on, I wonder if it's hitting the [[Issue on OSX with some system limits]] or if its just a thread/fork issue on OSX.

+It still hangs on the small repo even if I do
+
+    $ sudo sysctl -w kern.maxfilesperproc=400000
+    $ ulimit -n 2000
+
+Also, just in case if you need it still (on a clean OSX 10.7 system)
