Running git-annex upgrade von a v5 repo fails: ---------------- $ git-annex upgrade upgrade (v5 to v6...) (scanning for unlocked files...) (recording state in git...) git status will show some files to be modified, since content availability has changed and git-annex was unable to update the index. This is only a cosmetic problem affecting git status; git add, git commit, etc won't be affected. To fix the git status display, you can run: git update-index -q --refresh (recording state in git...) git status will show some files to be modified, since content availability has changed and git-annex was unable to update the index. This is only a cosmetic problem affecting git status; git add, git commit, etc won't be affected. To fix the git status display, you can run: git update-index -q --refresh git-annex: user error (git ["--git-dir=.git","--work-tree=.","--literal-pathspecs","status","--porcelain"] exited -9) failed (recording state in git...) git status will show some files to be modified, since content availability has changed and git-annex was unable to update the index. This is only a cosmetic problem affecting git status; git add, git commit, etc won't be affected. To fix the git status display, you can run: git update-index -q --refresh git-annex: upgrade: 1 failed ---------------- I have tried to run `git update-index -q --refresh` in the working tree. This produced no output and the problem above persists. Also `git-annex repair` did return without output (after a few hours) and the problem above persists.
