News for git-annex 7.20190912:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This version of git-annex uses repository version 7 for all repositories.
|
||
|
|
Existing v5 repositories will be automatically upgraded by default.
|
||
|
|
You can prevent this, by runing: git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
|
||
|
|
A v7 repository can can have some files locked while other files are
|
||
|
|
unlocked, and all git and git-annex commands can be used on both locked and
|
||
|
|
unlocked files. It's a good idea to make sure that all users of the
|
||
|
|
repository have upgraded git-annex and upgraded their repositories
|
||
|
|
to the new version before starting to use that feature, since old
|
||
|
|
versions of git-annex will ignore the new unlocked files.
|
||
|
|
The behavior of some commands changes in an upgraded repository:
|
||
|
|
* `git add` will add files to the annex, rather than adding them directly
|
||
|
|
to the git repository. To cause some files to be added directly
|
||
|
|
to git, you can configure `annex.largefiles`. For example:
|
||
|
|
git config annex.largefiles "largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)"
|
||
|
|
* `git annex unlock` and `git annex lock` change how the pointer to
|
||
|
|
the annexed content is stored in git. If you commit the change,
|
||
|
|
that will impact all clones of the repository.

git-annex 7.20190912 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
|
||
|
|
[[!toggleable text="""
|
||
|
|
* Default to v7 for new repositories.
|
||
|
|
* Automatically upgrade v5 repositories to v7.
|
||
|
|
* Automatically convert direct mode repositories to v7 with adjusted
|
||
|
|
unlocked branches and set annex.thin.
|
||
|
|
* Added annex.autoupgraderepository configuration that can be set to false
|
||
|
|
to prevent any automatic repository upgrades.
|
||
|
|
* Refuse to upgrade direct mode repositories when git is older than 2.22,
|
||
|
|
which fixed a memory leak that could cause an OOM during the upgrade.
|
||
|
|
* Removed support for git versions older than 2.1.
|
||
|
|
* assistant: When creating a new repository, no longer use direct
|
||
|
|
mode, instead use v7 adjusted branches with annex.thin.
|
||
|
|
* init: When run on a crippled filesystem with --version=5,
|
||
|
|
will error out, since version 7 is needed for adjusted unlocked branch.
|
||
|
|
* direct: This command always errors out as direct mode is no longer
|
||
|
|
supported.
|
||
|
|
* indirect: This command has become a deprecated noop.
|
||
|
|
* proxy: This command is deprecated because it was only needed in direct
|
||
|
|
mode. (But it continues to work.)
|
||
|
|
* info: Removed the "repository mode" from its output (including the
|
||
|
|
--json output) since with the removal of direct mode, there is no
|
||
|
|
repository mode.
|
||
|
|
* info: When file matching options are specified when getting
|
||
|
|
info of something other than a directory, they won't have any effect,
|
||
|
|
so error out to avoid confusion.
|
||
|
|
* info: Display trust level when getting info on a uuid, same as a remote.
|
||
|
|
* When upgrading a direct mode repo to v7 with adjusted unlocked branches,
|
||
|
|
fix a bug that prevented annex.thin from taking effect for the files
|
||
|
|
in working tree.
|
||
|
|
* Avoid making a commit when upgrading from direct mode to v7.
|
||
|
|
* init: Catch more exceptions when testing locking.
|
||
|
|
* init: Fix a reversion that broke initialization on systems that
|
||
|
|
need to use pid locking.
|
||
|
|
* A git-annex-standalone rpm is now distributed along with the standalone
|
||
|
|
tarball.
|
||
|
|
* Added standalone/rpm/rpmbuild-from-standalone-tarball script."""]]
