I am trying to
$ git annex unlock myfile
but it gives
unlock myfile
git-annex: unlock failed
failed
unlock: 1 failed
I have no idea why, and the error gives me no means to debug (nor was an internet search helpful). Note that e.g.
$ cat myfile
works fine
git annex --debug unlock myfile. Otherwise do anstrace git annex --debug unlock myfileand you can try setting git debug environment variables: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6178401/how-can-i-debug-git-git-shell-related-problemsThanks. It just gives a vague
-9exit signal.Strange that cp is failing without displaying any kind of error message. The exit code being negative suggests it received signal 9 (SIGKILL).
I'd look at
strace -o log -ffat this point and find the log file for the cp process, to see what it was doing before it exited.Sorry I don't know MacOS well enough to say... but it's good information that you're using that OS.
