git-annex 8.20200810 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Added support for external backend programs. So if you want a hash
that git-annex doesn't support, or something stranger, you can write a
small program to implement it.
* Fix a bug in find --branch in the previous version.
* importfeed: Fix reversion that caused some '.' in filenames to be
replaced with '\_'
* Fix a lock file descriptor leak that could occur when running commands
like git-annex add with -J. Bug was introduced as part of a different FD
leak fix in version 6.20160318.
* Fix a hang when using git-annex with an old openssh 7.2p2, which had
some weird inheriting of ssh FDs by sshd. Bug was introduced in
git-annex version 7.20200202.7.
* move, copy --to: Sped up seeking files by 2x.
* drop: Sped up seeking files to drop by 2x, and also some performance
improvements to checking numcopies.
* Deal with unusual IFS settings in the shell scripts for linux
standalone and OSX app.
Thanks, Yaroslav Halchenko
* Avoid complaining that a file with "is beyond a symbolic link"
when the filepath is absolute and the symlink in question is not
actually inside the git repository.
* Slightly sped up the linux standalone bundle.
* Support building with dlist-1.0"""]]

git-annex (8.20201116) upstream; urgency=medium
.
* move: Fix a regression in the last release that made move --to not
honor numcopies settings.
* sync --content: Fix a bug where a file that was not preferred content
could be transferred to a remote. This happened when the file got deleted
after the sync started running.
* Warn when adding a annex symlink or pointer file that uses a key that
is not known to the repository, to prevent confusion if the user has
copied it from some other repository.
* examinekey: Added two new format variables: objectpath and objectpointer
* examinekey: Added --migrate-to-backend
