Hi,
I am using git annex 5.20151208-1build1 on my local machine and 5.20151208-g5ef6ed8 on "origin". I can not drop files anymore. "git annex sync --content" has the same problem when it tries to drop files:
$ git annex drop xyz
drop xyz (locking origin...) <-- waits here for ever
$ git annex sync --content
[git annex is pulling and merging stuff]
drop xyz (locking origin...) <-- waits here for ever
What can I do? Thanks!
You're using a version of git-annex that is nearly 2 years old. Upgrading to a new version should be the very first thing you try in such a situation..
Sounds like probably this changelog entry is relevant, from version 6.20160418.
And it appears that hang first appeared in git-annex version 5.20151009.
