News for git-annex 7.20181031:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Repository version 7 is now available. v6 repositories will automatically
|
||
|
|
upgrade to v7. v5 repositories are still supported and will not be
|
||
|
|
automatically upgraded yet.
|
||
|
|
Direct mode is deprecated, and upgrading direct mode repositories to v7 is
|
||
|
|
encouraged, unless they need to remain usable by older versions of git-annex.
|
||
|
|
Just run `git annex upgrade`.
|
||
|
|
git-annex will no longer initialize new repositories on crippled filesystems
|
||
|
|
using direct mode, instead it uses v7.
|
||
|
|
The git-annex Android app is no longer being updated. Users of the app
|
||
|
|
should remove it and install using the new Termux based installation method.

git-annex 7.20181031 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]

|

|
|
* Added v7 repository mode. v6 upgrades automatically to v7, but
|
||
|
|
v5 is still the default for now. While v6 was always experimental
|
||
|
|
to some degree, its successor v7 is ready for production use!

|
||
|
|
* Direct mode repositories are deprecated; they have many problems
|
||
|
|
that v7 fixes, so upgrading them now is recommended (but not yet
|
||
|
|
required): git annex upgrade --version=7
|
||
|
|
* init: When in a crippled filesystem, initialize a v7 repository
|
||
|
|
using an adjusted unlocked branch, instead of a direct mode repository.
|
||
|
|
* At long last there's a way to hide annexed files whose content
|
||
|
|
is missing from the working tree: git-annex adjust --hide-missing
|
||
|
|
See https://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/hiding\_missing\_files/
|
||
|
|
* When already in an adjusted branch, running git-annex adjust
|
||
|
|
again will update the branch as needed. This is mostly
|
||
|
|
useful with --hide-missing to hide/unhide files after their content
|
||
|
|
has been dropped or received.
|
||
|
|
* git-annex sync --content supports --hide-missing; it can
|
||
|
|
be used to get the content of hidden files, and it updates the
|
||
|
|
adjusted branch to hide/unhide files as necessary.
|
||
|
|
* smudge: The smudge filter no longer provides git with annexed
|
||
|
|
file content, to avoid a git memory leak, and because that did not
|
||
|
|
honor annex.thin. Now git annex smudge --update has to be run
|
||
|
|
after a checkout to update unlocked files in the working tree
|
||
|
|
with annexed file contents.
|
||
|
|
* v7 init, upgrade: Install git post-checkout and post-merge hooks that run
|
||
|
|
git annex smudge --update.
|
||
|
|
* precommit: Run git annex smudge --update, because the post-merge
|
||
|
|
hook is not run when there is a merge conflict. So the work tree will
|
||
|
|
be updated when a commit is made to resolve the merge conflict.
|
||
|
|
* Note that git has no hooks run after git stash or git cherry-pick,
|
||
|
|
so the user will have to manually run git annex smudge --update
|
||
|
|
after such commands.
|
||
|
|
* Removed the old Android app.
|
||
|
|
* Removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1,
|
||
|
|
and with yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output,
|
||
|
|
which were only being used for the Android cross build.
|
||
|
|
* Webapp: Fix termux detection.
|
||
|
|
* runshell: Use system locales when built with
|
||
|
|
GIT\_ANNEX\_PACKAGE\_INSTALL set. (For Neurodebian packages.)
|
||
|
|
* Fix database inconsistency that could cause git-annex to
|
||
|
|
get confused about whether a locked file's content was present.
|
||
|
|
* Fix concurrency bug that occurred on the first download from an
|
||
|
|
exporttree remote.
|
||
|
|
* init --version=6 will still work, but the repository is auto-upgraded
|
||
|
|
immediately to v7.
|
||
|
|
* When annex.thin is set, allow hard links to be made between executable
|
||
|
|
work tree files and annex objects.
|
||
|
|
* addurl: Removed undocumented special case in handling of a CHECKURL-MULTI
|
||
|
|
response with only a single file listed. Rather than ignoring the url that
|
||
|
|
was in the response, use it.
|
||
|
|
* webapp: Fixed a crash when adding a git remote.
|
||
|
|
(Reversion introduced in version 6.20180112)
|
||
|
|
* migrate: Fix failure to migrate from URL keys.
|
||
|
|
(Reversion introduced in version 6.20180926)
|
||
|
|
* Cache high-resolution mtimes for improved detection of modified files
|
||
|
|
in v7 (and direct mode)."""]]
