git-annex (5.20140402) unstable; urgency=medium * unannex, uninit: Avoid committing after every file is unannexed, for massive speedup. * --notify-finish switch will cause desktop notifications after each file upload/download/drop completes (using the dbus Desktop Notifications Specification) * --notify-start switch will show desktop notifications when each file upload/download starts. * webapp: Automatically install Nautilus integration scripts to get and drop files. * tahoe: Pass -d parameter before subcommand; putting it after the subcommand no longer works with tahoe-lafs version 1.10. (Thanks, Alberto Berti) * forget --drop-dead: Avoid removing the dead remote from the trust.log, so that if git remotes for it still exist anywhere, git annex info will still know it's dead and not show it. * git-annex-shell: Make configlist automatically initialize a remote git repository, as long as a git-annex branch has been pushed to it, to simplify setup of remote git repositories, including via gitolite. * add --include-dotfiles: New option, perhaps useful for backups. * Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories, not including the datacenter and vault in their configuration. This bug is fixed, but glacier repositories set up with the broken version of git-annex need to have the datacenter and vault set in order to be usable. This can be done using git annex enableremote to add the missing settings. For details, see http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_glacier/ * Added required content configuration. * assistant: Improve ssh authorized keys line generated in local pairing or for a remote ssh server to set environment variables in an alternative way that works with the non-POSIX fish shell, as well as POSIX shells. # imported from the archive

git-annex 5.20140227 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* metadata: Field names limited to alphanumerics and a few whitelisted
punctuation characters to avoid issues with views, etc.
* metadata: Field names are now case insensative.
* When constructing views, metadata is available about the location of the
file in the view's reference branch. Allows incorporating parts of the
directory hierarchy in a view.
For example `git annex view tag=* podcasts/=*` makes a view in the form
tag/showname.
* --metadata field=value can now use globs to match, and matches
case insensatively, the same as git annex view field=value does.
* annex.genmetadata can be set to make git-annex automatically set
metadata (year and month) when adding files.
* Make annex.web-options be used in several places that call curl.
* Fix handling of rsync remote urls containing a username,
including rsync.net.
* Preserve metadata when staging a new version of an annexed file.
* metadata: Support --json
* webapp: Fix creation of box.com and Amazon S3 and Glacier
repositories, broken in 5.20140221.
* webdav: When built with DAV 0.6.0, use the new DAV monad to avoid
locking files, which is not needed by git-annex's use of webdav, and
does not work on Box.com.
* webdav: Fix path separator bug when used on Windows.
* repair: Optimise unpacking of pack files, and avoid repeated error
messages about corrupt pack files.
* Add build dep on regex-compat to fix build on mipsel, which lacks
regex-tdfa.
* Disable test suite on sparc, which is missing optparse-applicative.
* Put non-object tmp files in .git/annex/misctmp, leaving .git/annex/tmp
for only partially transferred objects."""]]
