+The partial commit blocking is explained in
+[[!commit adc5ca70a8095a389273e7c286cb32de6873a5a3]]
+
+That is working around a behavior of git, so it cannot be improved in
+git-annex. If it didn't block partial commits, the repository would be left
+in a broken state. The error message explains what you need to do.
+
+(The best fix for this issue is making v6 mode work well enough to ditch v5
+mode. This is indeed one of the motivations for v6 mode in the first place.)
+
+So I don't see a bug here except possibly with the part where git commit -a
+commits to annex not git.
