What steps will reproduce the problem?
git-annex sync
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The following error is mixed in with the output, took me a while to notice it:
Running: git ["--git-dir=/spare/annex/.git","--work-tree=/spare/annex","merge","--no-edit","refs/remotes/pip/synced/master"]
error: unknown option `no-edit'
What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
3.20120629~bpo60+1 on debian squeeze
Please provide any additional information below.
Installing git from backports as well cleared up the problem.
