I've been getting an occasional error from git-annex.
The error is: 'conq: invalid command syntax.'
For example, the last two commands I ran are:
$ git annex unused
unused . (checking for unused data...) (checking master...) (checking origin/master...)
Some annexed data is no longer used by any files:
NUMBER KEY
1 SHA256-s.....
(To see where data was previously used, try: git log --stat -S'KEY')
To remove unwanted data: git-annex dropunused NUMBER
ok
$ git annex dropunused 1
dropunused 1 conq: invalid command syntax.
ok
OS: OSX + port installs of the GNU tools
git-annex-version: 3.20111211

done, apparently not a git-annex bug --Joey
AFAICs, you probably just have a "conq" program that is running in the background and emitted this error.
The error message is not part of git-annex; it does not run any "conq" thing itself. Although you could try passing the --debug parameter to check the commands it does run to see if one of them somehow causes this conq thing.
A google search http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=conq%3A+invalid+command+syntax&btnG= finds other examples of this error message related to ssh, mercurial, and bitbucket. What that has to do with git is anyone's guess, but I'm pretty sure git-annex is not related to it at all.
Yeah, I saw those google links myself, but couldn't see why the bitbucket/ssh would be relevant.
The strange thing is that I only get this message when running git-annex.
I also don't have a conq in my path so I don't know where it is running from.
Oh well, if I ever sort it out I'll post back here.
