The message ended up sending an earlier copy. The intended content included this block: if self.closed: key_urls = '\n'.join((' '.join(keyurl) for keyurl in key_urls)) result = subprocess.run( ('git', 'annex', 'registerurl', '--batch'), input=keyurls, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, check=True, text=True ) for line in result.stdout: self._debug(line) for line in result.stderr: self._info(line) The code is behaving as if the block is not executed, even though self.closed is True. I guess I'll verify that it did indeed execute. I'd also like to see whether that command has output, and enable verbose mode if it has one.

I'm having trouble discerning if that is the issue. I am including the full block of code with the preceding portion that generates key_urls: for key, props in manifest['paths'].items(): txid = props['id'] file_txids[key] = txid self._debug(f'{key}: {self.gateway}/{txid}') if self.combining.get(key, False): for url in (*self.txid_urls(txid), *self.txid_uris(txid)): key_urls.append((key, url)) if self.closed: key_urls = '\n'.join((' '.join(keyurl) for keyurl in key_urls)) result = subprocess.run( ('git', 'annex', 'registerurl', '--batch'), input=keyurls, stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE, check=True, text=True ) for line in result.stdout: self._debug(line) for line in result.stderr: self._info(line)
