Almost Beta 2 Cloud Storage fails

[Dirk Hohndel]

Hi John,

I don't know which email program you use (it doesn't say in your mail
headers), but the way you quote existing emails makes it very hard for
people who prefer text email readers to see what's what...

I'll try to work on this today. But since I want to make this
comprehensive this may take a moment :-/

The idea is to simply add this to the verbose program output. Then if
regular users run into problems we can ask them to run things this way and
give the log to us.

Ahhh, that explains it. And you just found a real bug. This "filename" is
actually special. It indicates that we want to save to git repository
instead of to an actual file. But since you don't have a local
subdirectory "noseygit at hotmail.com" with a git repository in it, this
fails.

OK, at least one thing I understand now. What I need to do next is make
sure we don't use this as default filename for "Save as"...

Yes it is, because names with '[...]' in them are special to Subsurface.

Yes, this all makes sense now.

OK, so that's not the issue :-(

OK, so now you have two cloud accounts, but you can't load from / save to
either one? Just to make sure I understand where we are...
