annex.thin can only work on filesystems that support hard links,
so the most likely reason, from the information you have given,
is that the repository is on a FAT or other non-hard-link supporting
filesystem.
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>date > bigfile
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex add bigfile
add bigfile ok
(recording state in git...)
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git commit -m add
[master 39d19a4] add
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
rewrite bigfile (100%)
mode change 100644 => 120000
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>git annex unlock bigfile
unlock bigfile ok
(recording state in git...)
joey@darkstar:~/tmp/xxx>ls -l bigfile
-rw-r--r-- 2 joey joey 30 Jul 6 14:46 bigfile
It's working fine here as seen by the fact that bigfile
has a link count of 2 after being unlocked.
Other possibilies:
* If the repository was cloned using `git clone --shared`,
annex.thin is not supported.
* If there are multiple files in the working tree that have the same
content, annex.thin will only hard link one of them; the others
will be non-thin copies.
