--- Comment #1 from Stephen sdeasey@gmail.com --- I downloaded the pre-built binary from:
http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-am...
dated 2013-07-09 and 'git annex init' works fine:
$ git annex init init ok (Recording state in git...)
I don't know whether this means that this is a packaging bug or an annex bug which has already been fixed upstream.
I tried:
sudo yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing git-annex
but there's nothing pending.
