"git annex watch" will add the file generated by "git annex map", which is probably not intended. Shouldn’t this file be created in /tmp or .git/annex/ or somewhere else?
Indeed, so done --Joey
/tmp $ cd test/
/tmp/test $ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /tmp/test/.git/
/tmp/test $ git annex init
init ok
(Recording state in git...)
/tmp/test $ git annex watch
/tmp/test $ git annex map
map /tmp/test ok
running: dot -Tx11 map.dot
ok
/tmp/test $ ls -l
insgesamt 4
