I was busy with first dentistry and then DebConf. + +Yesterday I [visited CERN](http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/words_fail_me/) and +got to talk with some of their IT guys about how they manage their tens of +petabytes of data. Interested to hear they also have the equivilant of a +per-subdirectory annex.numcopies setting. OTOH, they have half a billion +more files than git's index file is likely to be able to scale to support. ;) + +Pushed a release out today despite not having many queued changes. +Also, I got git-annex migrated to Debian testing, and so was also +able to update the wheezy backport to a just 2 week old version. + +Today is also the last day of the [campaign](https://campaign.joeyh.name/)! + +---- + +There has been a ton of discussion about git-annex here at DebConf, +including 3 BoF sessions that mostly focused on it, amoung other git stuff. +Also, RichiH will be presenting his +"[Gitify Your Life](http://penta.debconf.org/dc13_schedule/events/1025.en.html)" +talk on Friday; you can catch it on the [live stream](http://blog.debconf.org/blog/2013/08/14#hl_dc13_recordings). + +I've also had a continual stream of in-person bug and feature requests. +(Mostly features.) +These have been added to the wiki and I look forward to working on that +backlog when I get home. + +As for coding, I am doing little here, but I do have a branch cooking that +adds some options to `git annex import` to control handling of duplicate +files.
