Posting this here because I am not sure if it is a bug or if I am missing something.

I have a ~10 GB file in git-annex. I can't get it to go to S3 whatever I do.

I added a S3 special remote:

git annex initremote s3-mybucket type=S3 chunk=1MiB keyid=ABCD1234 bucket=mybucket

Then, I tried copying files to the remote. Small files worked, but big files don't:

$ git annex copy bigfile.tgz --to s3-mybucket
copy bigfile.tgz (gpg)
You need a passphrase to unlock the secret key for
user: "user"
2048-bit RSA key, ID ABCD1234, created 2014-10-13 (main key ID ABCD1234)

(checking s3-mybucket...) (to s3-mybucket...)

  Your proposed upload exceeds the maximum allowed size
failed
git-annex: copy: 1 failed

I tried some stuff like this too:

git annex enableremote s3-mybucket chunk=100MiB
git annex enableremote s3-mybucket chunksize=100MiB

It didn't work. Same result.

$ git annex version

The chunk size did seem to be set properly:

$ git checkout git-annex
$ cat remote.log
xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxx bucket=mybucket chunk=100MiB chunksize=100MiB cipher=....

I'm on OSX 10.9.4 and I installed git-annex via homebrew.

Any ideas?
