Two more days working on v6 and the `smudge` branch is almost ready to be
|
||
|
|
merged. The test suite is passing again for v5 repos, and is almost
|
||
|
|
passing for v6 repos. Also I decided to make `git annex init` create v5
|
||
|
|
repos for now, so `git annex init --version=6` or a `git annex upgrade`
|
||
|
|
is needed to get a v6 repo. So while I still have plenty of todo items for
|
||
|
|
v6 repos, they are working reasonably well and almost ready for early
|
||
|
|
adopters.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The only real blocker to merging it is that the database stuff used by v6
|
||
|
|
is not optimised yet and probably slow, and even in v5 repos it will query
|
||
|
|
the database. I hope to find an optimisation that avoids all database
|
||
|
|
overhead unless unlocked files are used in a v6 repo.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'll probably make one more release before that is merged though. Yesterday
|
||
|
|
I fixed a small security hole in `git annex repair`, which could expose the
|
||
|
|
contents of an otherwise not world-writable repository to local users.

BTW, the [2015 git-annex user survey](http://git-annex-survey.branchable.com/polls/2015/)
|

|
|
closes in two weeks, please go fill it out if you haven't yet done so!
