I am experimenting with git-annex and I think I must be doing something wrong. I have git-annex installed on the machine. I then did the following 

$ mkdir annex  
$ cd annex/  
$ git init  
Initialized empty Git repository in /annex/.git/  
$ git annex init "test data"  
init test data ok  
(Recording state in git...)  
$ git annex add --backend=SHA1 .  
$ git commit -am "initial repo"   
On branch master  
Initial commit  
nothing to commit  
$ touch test.txt # test.txt has a line "this is a test"  
$ git annex add .  
add test.txt

At this moment, my command line hangs - the git annex add . seems to not be able to complete. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

  • Can you please install `strace`, then run `strace git anned add .` (the last command before the failure) and update your post with the last ~40 lines of the `strace` output. – lxg Oct 11 '14 at 09:45

What ended up being a problem was PPA

  • Could you detail how you solved this and what you mean by PPA? I believe I am experiencing the same issue, and your answer (or the GitHub thread linked to) do not help at all. – TheChymera May 26 '15 at 17:10
