transfers when not on wifi. This may need to be configurable.
* Jabber and Webdav configuration both fail with
"getProtocolByname: does not exist (no such protocol name: tcp)"
* Ssh server and Rsync.net configuration stops where ssh
should be prompting for a password in the terminal.
* Ssh server fails with "Unknown uuid: cannot modify". git-annex-shell configlist
reading problem?
* Enabling debug logging in the webapp doesn't seem to work.
* glacier and local pairing are not yet enabled for Android.
* The "Files" link doesn't start a file browser. Should be possible to do
on Android via intents, I suppose?
* Adding removable drives would work, but the android app is not in the
appropriate group to write to them. `WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE` permission
needed. Added to AndroidManifest, but did not seem to be used.
Googleing for it will find a workaround that needs a rooted device.

Created a backport of the latest git-annex release for Debian 7.0 wheezy.
Needed to backport a dozen haskell dependencies, but not too bad.
This will be available in the backports repository once Debian
starts accepting new packages again. I plan to keep the backport up-to-date
as I make new releases.
The cheap Android tablet I bought to do this last Android push with came
pre-rooted from the factory. This may be why I have not seen this bug:
[[bugs/Android_app_permission_denial_on_startup]]. If you have Android
4.2.2 or a similar version, your testing would be helpful for me to know if
this is a widespread problem. I have an idea about a way to work around the
problem, but it involves writing Java code, and probably polling a file,
ugh.
Got S3 support to build for Android. Probably fails to work
due to the same network stack problems affecting WebDAV and Jabber.
Got removable media mount detection working on Android. Bionic has an
amusing stub for `getmntent` that prints out "FIX ME! implement
getmntent()". But, `/proc/mounts` is there, so I just parse it.
Also enabled the app's `WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE` permission to allow
access to removable media. However, this didn't seem to do anything. :(
Several fixes to make the Android webapp be able to set up repositories on
remote ssh servers. However, it fails at the last hurdle with what
looks like a `git-annex-shell` communication problem. Almost there..
