### Please describe the problem.
My server is on debian testing. After an upgrade (git annex: 3.20120629 → 4.20130521) I can't do anything in my repository anymore. git itself works, but invoking any git-annex command leads to:
git-annex: fd:6: hGetContents: user error (Pattern match failure in do expression at libraries/base/GHC/Event/Thread.hs:90:3-10)
This repo is handled by a script, which invokes only the following git/git-annex commands:
$ git annex sync
$ git annex add
$ git commit -m "…"
I realized this after trying to move files from my server to my local repo. My local machine runs debian sid. When trying to transfer files, this happens:
$ git annex sync
→ ok
$ git annex move --from origin .
move x.zip (from origin...)
user@host's password: ← pw ok
git-annex-shell: fd:6: hGetContents: user error (Pattern match failure in do expression at libraries/base/GHC/Event/Thread.hs:90:3-10)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(605) [Receiver=3.0.9]
failed
I updated git-annex on both machines to 4.20130627 (rest of server is still on debian testing), but it didn't change anything.
The server was not down since the last successful transfer, so I can't imagine anything interrupting any git-annex process.
### What steps will reproduce the problem?
See above.
### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
Server: 4.20130521 on debian testing (now: 4.20130627)
Local: 4.20130621 on debian sid (now: 4.20130627)
