Please describe the problem.
git-annex-shell -c git-annex-shell errors, and git-annex interprets this as meaning that git-annex-shell is normal git-shell.
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Running git-annex-shell -c git-annex-shell.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
NixOS, 6.20180529.
Please provide any additional information below.
# If you can, paste a complete transcript of the problem occurring here.
# If the problem is with the git-annex assistant, paste in .git/annex/daemon.log

fatal: unrecognized command 'git-annex-shell'
git-annex-shell: git-shell failed
# End of transcript or log.
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)
Yes.
Gonna assume this was operator error after 5 years of no information. done --Joey
Why are you trying to do this? Is there a normal git-annex use case that involves that happening?
In what configuration?
This clearly does not affect the general case, or everyone who is happily using git-annex would have reported the bug.
Please provide enough information to reproduce your problem.
