-git-annex 4.20131101 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
-[[!toggleable text="""
-   * The "git annex content" command is renamed to "git annex wanted".
-   * New --want-get and --want-drop options which can be used to
-     test preferred content settings.
-     For example, "git annex find --in . --want-drop"
-   * assistant: When autostarted, wait 5 seconds before running the startup
-     scan, to avoid contending with the user's desktop login process.
-   * webapp: When setting up a bare shared repository, enable non-fast-forward
-     pushes.
-   * sync: Show a hint about receive.denyNonFastForwards when a push fails.
-   * directory, webdav: Fix bug introduced in version 4.20131002 that
-     caused the chunkcount file to not be written. Work around repositories
-     without such a file, so files can still be retreived from them.
-   * assistant: Automatically repair damanged git repository, if it can
-     be done without losing data.
-   * assistant: Support repairing git remotes that are locally accessible
-     (eg, on removable drives).
-   * add: Fix reversion in 4.20130827 when adding unlocked files that have
-     not yet been committed.
-   * unannex: New, much slower, but more safe behavior: Copies files out of
-     the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking other files that
-     link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
-     remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with
-     "git annex unused".
-     (The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard links
-     to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it is
-     potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly
-     change content stored in the annex.)"""]]
