Hello.
What does this log mean? It seems to tell" "success", then "openDirStream" fails, then "1 failed". What failed?
Context is in [todo/git annex repair: performance can be abysmal, huge improvements possible](https://git-annex.branchable.com/ikiwiki.cgi?do=goto&page=todo%2Fgit_annex_repair__58___performance_can_be_abysmal__44___huge_improvements_possible)

The fact is: this repo is a plain git clone of a git annex repository.
There is no `.git/annex` directory there before `git-annex-repair` is run.
After it ran, there is a `.git/annex` directory with that content:

Perhaps git-annex-repair gets confused when recovering a repository that is a plain git clone of a git annex repository?
I did that because annexed objects are 1.7TB big here, so I wanted a local copy of pure git part only to perform repair of the repo, and propagate things somehow the objects at a later stage.
I'll keep the repo lying around for a few days, maybe weeks, if some experiment or further feedback is needed.
Thank you for your attention.
