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. I am developing the easy-git-annex API for git-annex.
Should be fixed now... It was reading the contents of the refs/ directory recursively, and treating those names as refs, which is wrong on Windows due to path separator being different. --Joey
