Did you ever figure this out? I'm getting the same error. When I try removing notes for named object, git tells me no note exists (and there shouldn't be any yet).

[jansel]

I believe this was fixed in #36 (it removes the offending line and merges it with an equivalent line that catches the exception).

Are you running the latest version? If so, post your stack trace.

[michaelweinstein]

Thanks so much. I'm not exactly sure how to check the version explicitly, I couldn't find info on the wiki? I installed bigstore through pip yesterday so I'm not sure if the latest version is updated there. I can post the stack trace if so though.

I'm checking right now, let me see what's currently up there and if @jansel's fix made it in.

[michaelweinstein]

Thanks so much for your help. Pip may not install or upgrade to the latest bigstore version, metadata.py seems to indicate 1.0.0

[dlo]

Looks like PyPi changed their package updating API. Hold tight while I tighten the screws…

[dlo]

Done!

Thanks so much, you're a life saver!
