-git-annex 5.20141125 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * Remove fixup code for bad bare repositories created by
-     versions 5.20131118 through 5.20131127. That fixup code would
-     accidentially fire when --git-dir was incorrectly
-     pointed at the working tree of a git-annex repository,
-     possibly resulting in data loss. Closes: #[768093](http://bugs.debian.org/768093)
-   * Windows: Fix crash when user.name is not set in git config."""]]
