datalad siblings enable fails in git-cloned dataset without git-annex branch

adswa opened this issue · comments

If one clones a datalad dataset via a plain git clone, and one's local repo thus only has the master branch, running datalad siblings enable can crash and bubbles up the git error - the underlying reason is that the local repo doesn't yet see the git-annex branch.

this is a variant of #6569. Git's error message changed from "fatal: path 'remote.log' does not exist in 'git-annex'" to "fatal: invalid object name 'git-annex'".
