With this command in an empty directory, I can more or less reliably cause the issue to happen (again)

`sudo rm -rf .git .datalad .gitattributes * ; git clone https://github.com/datalad/testrepo--minimalds.git . && git annex init --version=6; git status`

using 6.20181011+git124-g94aa0e2f6-1~ndall+1 or 6.20180913-1
