after it fails, i use ctrl-c to break out of the command in fear of it messing up the current state of the tree that is exported to my android device

also it appears that someone else is having this issue as well, but they posted it in the comment section of the adb remote tutorial page instead of filing a bug report

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)

git annex has been great so far, aside from some pitfalls on some of the more advanced features, i have been using it to manage my files using all kinds of special and non special remotes very solidly for 2 years now.
