+(many apologies, I buggered up the markdown formatting of the following section. Fixed below)
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+(approximately)
+
+```
+git init && git annex init --version 10
+(add some large file, commit)
+git annex sync
+git status # hangs forever
+git annex status # hangs forever
+git annex info # actually works, and produces typical output
+git diff path/to/normal-file.txt # also hangs
+git annex version # actually works, and produces typical output
+```
