Please describe the problem.
originally filed/investigated in DataLad #6778.
Following reproducer which simply git annex adds a moved to subdirectory annexed file
#!/bin/bash
cd "$(mktemp -d ${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/dl-XXXXXXX)"
set -eu
git init
git annex init
echo 123 > 123
git annex add 123
git commit -m 'commit 123'
mkdir sub
mv 123 sub
git annex add sub/123
git commit -m 'committing moved'
crashes with
[master (root-commit) 30d904b] commit 123
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 120000 123
add sub/123
git-annex: sub/123: rename: does not exist (No such file or directory)
failed
add: 1 failed
with recent (after 10.20220525+git96-gf259be7f3, full range for when bug introduced AFAIK is 10.20220525+git81-g8916c818b..10.20220525+git96-gf259be7f3) git-annex
As this is such a basic operation, I am still wondering how come it is not caught by git-annex tests and only 1 of our datalad tests managed to pick this up!
