Still 39 or so items to look at. + +There have been several reports of problems with ssh password prompts. +I'm beginning to think the assistant may need to prompt for the password +when setting up a ssh remote. This should be handled by `ssh-askpass` or +similar, but some Linux users probably don't have it installed, and there +seems to be no widely used OSX equivilant. + +--- + +Fixed several bugs today, all involving (gasp) direct mode. + +The tricky one involved renaming or deleting files in direct mode. +Currently nothing removes the old filename from the direct mode +mapping, and this could result in the renamed or deleted file +unexepectedly being put back into the tree when content is downloaded. + +To deal with this, it now assumes that direct mode mappings may be out of +date compared to the tree, and does additional checks to catch +inconsistencies. While that works well enough for the assistant, +I'd also like to make the `pre-commit` hook update the mappings for files +that are changed. That's needed to handle things like `git mv`.
