What steps will reproduce the problem? I don't know exactly when it started
What is the expected output? What do you see instead? When I run git annex unused I get
unused . (checking for unused data...) (checking master...) git-annex: Cannot decode byte '\xb4': Data.Text.Encoding.decodeUtf8: Invalid UTF-8 stream
Most likely I have added some file with a strange encoding that git-annex can't decode. The problem is that the unused process aborts because of this.
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 3.20120522, Debian testing
I've just fixed this bug in git, will be in the next release. --Joey done
