Please describe the problem.

Git annex finds problems with the repository after only adding and syncing a single empty file to the repository.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

  • Create one repository each on devices A and B via webapp
  • Pair with a passphrase via webapp
  • Wait until full sync
  • Make sure git annex repair finds no problems
  • Create an empty file test.sh on device A
  • Wait until both webapps show sync and transfer has completed

Both repositories are now in a bad state.

  • git annex repair reports error code repair: 1 failed, --force seems to repair, but the next git annex repair always fails again with repair: 1 failed
  • This is true for both repositories

What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

Linux 5.17.3-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux device A

Linux 5.17.4-arch1-1 #1 SMP PREEMPT x86_64 GNU/Linux device B

The bug is very easy to reproduce. This happens in a bigger repository of mine, where I git annex repair doesn't seem to do anything. I narrowed it down to this example and I hope it's the same cause.

Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)

Using it daily, with small-sized repositories.
