I'm trying to use git-annex for keeping my company invoices data. It seems a good idea because it's encrypted and whatnot, I'd never upload them to Dropbox. However, Libre Office refuses to work with files copied to annex-tracked folder. It's likely a flaw in LO/OOo, but maybe someone here knows a way to make the two work together.
When opening a spreadsheet, I'm getting a "Document in use - document locked by: Unknown User - Open read-only or open a copy" dialog. I tried opening a copy and saving under a different filename , but I can only save once - any subsequent saves to the same filename result in an error.

git annex unlock
to unlock a file for editing. Or you can use the new direct mode.
