git-annex 8.20210127 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text=""" * Added mincopies configuration. This is like numcopies, but is
enforced even more strictly. While numcopies can be violated in
concurrent drop situations involving special remotes that do not
support locking, mincopies cannot be. The default value has always
been 1, but now it can be set to higher values if desired.
* Behavior change: When numcopies is set to 0, git-annex used to drop
content without requiring any copies. Now to get that (highly unsafe)
behavior, mincopies also needs to be set to 0.
* Behavior change: git-annex trust now needs --force, since unconsidered
use of trusted repositories can lead to data loss.
* Behavior change: --trust and --trust-glacier options no longer overrides
trust, since that can lead to data loss, which should never be enabled
by an option other than --force.
* add: Significantly speed up adding lots of non-large files to git,
by disabling the annex smudge filter when running git add.
* add --force-small: Run git add rather than updating the index itself,
so any other smudge filters than the annex one that may be enabled will
be used.
* Fix --time-limit, which got broken in several ways by some optimisations
in version 8.20201007.
* When syncing changes back from an adjusted branch to the basis branch,
include deletions of submodules.
Thanks, Kyle Meyer for the patch.
* Bug fix: export with -J could fail when two files had the same content.
* Bug fix: Fix tilde expansion in ssh urls when the tilde is the last
character in the url.
Thanks, Grond for the patch.
* Avoid crashing when there are remotes using unparseable urls.
Including the non-standard URI form that git-remote-gcrypt uses for rsync.
* Directory special remotes with importtree=yes now avoid unncessary
hashing when inodes of files have changed, as happens whenever a FAT
filesystem gets remounted.
* Fix a bug that prevented git-annex init from working in a submodule.
* Fix a bug in view filename generation when a metadata value ended with
"/" (or ":" or "\" on Windows)
* adjust: Fix some bad behavior when unlocked files use URL keys.
* smudge: Fix some bad behavior when git add is run on an unlocked
file that used an URL key.
* Added GETGITREMOTENAME to external special remote protocol.
* Windows: Work around win32 length limits when dealing with lock files."""]]

git-annex 8.20210621 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text=""" * New matching options --excludesamecontent and --includesamecontent
* When two files have the same content, and a required content expression
matches one but not the other, dropping the latter file will fail as it
would also remove the content of the required file.
* drop, move, mirror: When two files have the same content, and
different numcopies or requiredcopies values, use the higher value.
* drop --auto: When two files have the same content, and a preferred content
expression matches one but not the other, do not drop the content.
* sync --content, assistant: When two unlocked files have the same
content, and a preferred content expression matches one but not the
other, do not drop the content. (This was already the case for locked
files.)
* sync --content, assistant: Fix an edge case where a file that is not
preferred content did not get dropped.
* filter-branch: New command, useful to produce a filtered version of the
git-annex branch, eg when splitting a repository.
* fromkey: Create an unlocked file when used in an adjusted branch
where the file should be unlocked, or when configured by annex.addunlocked.
* Fix behavior of several commands, including reinject, addurl, and rmurl
when given an absolute path to an unlocked file, or a relative path
that leaves and re-enters the repository.
* smudge: Fix a case where an unlocked annexed file that annex.largefiles
does not match could get its unchanged content checked into git,
due to git running the smudge filter unecessarily.
* reinject: Error out when run on a file that is not annexed, rather
than silently skipping it.
* assistant: Fix a crash on startup by avoiding using forkProcess.
* init: When annex.commitmessage is set, use that message for the commit
that creates the git-annex branch.
* Added annex.adviceNoSshCaching config.
* Added --size-limit option.
* Future proof activity log parsing.
* Fix an exponential slowdown when large numbers of duplicate files are
being added in unlocked form."""]]
