`upgrade` will fail and leave the repo broken when run in a
v5 direct repo with annex.alwayscommit=false and not synced since the last
change.
> Forwarded from a private email to me, have not reproduced yet. --[[Joey]]
Update: Got a repo tarball sent to me that reproduces the problem. It looks like
this:
git annex upgrade
upgrade (v5 to v6...)
caught exception: Somehow no branch is checked out
<callstack>
failed
(recording state in git...)
git-annex: upgrade: 1 failed
.git/HEAD points to refs/heads/annex/direct/master,
but that ref does not actually exist yet.
The repo was created with git-annex 7.20190731-gbb16a2610
and this sequence of commands:
git init .
git config user.email "email@example.com"
git config user.name "Name Name"
git config annex.alwayscommit false
git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
git annex init foobar
git annex direct
echo "aaaa" > a && echo "bbbb" > b
git annex add a b
git annex drop --force a
Note that lack of git-annex sync, which is why the branch
never got created. The index file has the adds staged of course.
