News for git-annex 3.20120123:
There was a bug in the handling of directory special remotes that
could cause partial file contents to be stored in them. If you use
a directory special remote, you should fsck it, to avoid potential
data loss.
Example: git annex fsck --from mydirectory
git-annex 3.20120123 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* fsck --from: Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving
the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them,
so can be an expensive operation. Still, if the remote is a special
remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's
nice to have the ability to fsck it.
* If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to
fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the
previous release!
* fsck --from remote --fast: Avoids expensive file transfers, at the
expense of not checking file size and/or contents.
* Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex.
Only one ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which
can speed some things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password
prompts. Concurrent git-annex processes also share ssh connections.
Cached ssh connections are shut down when git-annex exits.
* To disable the ssh caching (if for example you have your own broader
ssh caching configuration), set annex.sshcaching=false."""]]
