Hi all,
I am trying to get org-attach to work with git-annex, but there is a
bug that prevents it working.
org-attach checks if there is an annex directory in the results of
(vc-git-root org-attach-directory) in order to decide whether to use
git-annex. But the annex directory is a subdir of the .git dir, and
vc-git-root returns the path to the directory that contains .git, not
the .git path itself, e.g. /foo not /foo/.git
I don’t know if the behavior of vc-git-root has changed, but I don’t
see anything in the emacs git log for vc/vc-git.el and it seems to
have the same behavior in 24 & 25.
The following patch fixes this issue.
