+This problem cleared up after a reboot (and a crash, apparently).
+
+<pre>
+joeyh so, my thought is that perhaps you had a git-annex process before that was holding the lock.
+joeyh for example, if you ran it and ctrl-z'd at just the right time, it could be suspended and holding the lock
+joeyh (or the kernel coud have gotten confused, which given you also had a crash, who knows..)
+dp sounds logical
+joeyh forcing locks is always a problimatic thing
+joeyh but git-annex could certianly notice if it seems to be stalled and print some useful messages
+joeyh and maybe have a way to run with locks forced
