**What steps will reproduce the problem?**
On the dashboard, click settings > Delete on the repo you want to remove.
Wait for the dropping to finish.
Start final deletion when the message "The repository "repo" has been emptied, and can now be removed." pops up.
**What is the expected output? What do you see instead?**
The repository should be deleted, but I only see "Internal Server Error: git [Param "remote",Param "remove",Param "repo"] failed".
**What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?**
Standalone build, git-annex version 4.20130417-g4bb97d5
**Please provide any additional information below.**
The log shows:
