Unexpected bandwidth failure. Maybe in a few +days.. + +Got unannex and uninit working in direct mode. This is one of the more +subtle parts of git-annex, and took some doing to get it right. +Surprisingly, unannex in direct mode actually turns out to be faster than +in indirect mode. In direct mode it doesn't have to immediately commit the +unannexing, it can just stage it to be committed later. + +Also worked on the ssh connection caching code. The perrennial problem with +that code is that the fifo used to communicate with ssh has a small limit +on its path, somewhere around 100 characters. This had caused problems when +the hostname was rather long. I found a way to avoid needing to be able to +reverse back from the fifo name to the hostname, and this let me take the +md5sum of long hostnames, and use that shorter string for the fifo. + +Also various other bug followups. + +---- + +[Campaign](https://campaign.joeyh.name/) is almost to 1 year!
