### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders)
I've barely just installed. So I'm gonna get going these days. That warning doesn't seem to be an issue so far. I've looked it up but couldn't find any other reports for that warning.

fix windows assistant upgrade glitch Prevent windows assistant from trying (and failing) to upgrade itself, which has never been supported on windows. The new windows build is made with UPGRADE_LOCATION set, which enabled this code path that had never run on windows before, and doesn't work. I don't want to try to support self-upgrade on windows, or generally on other OS's than the ones where its working, so added a check for that. This way the build can keep setting UPGRADE_LOCATION and if some later git-annex does learn how to upgrade itself on some OS, it won't need changing the build setup. 2020-11-19 16:50:25 +00:00
