git-annex (7.20190912) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
This version of git-annex uses repository version 7 for all repositories.
Existing v5 repositories will be automatically upgraded by default.
You can prevent this, by runing: git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
A v7 repository can can have some files locked while other files are
unlocked, and all git and git-annex commands can be used on both locked and
unlocked files. It's a good idea to make sure that all users of the
repository have upgraded git-annex and upgraded their repositories
to the new version before starting to use that feature, since old
versions of git-annex will ignore the new unlocked files.
The behavior of some commands changes in an upgraded repository:
* `git add` will add files to the annex, rather than adding them directly
to the git repository. To cause some files to be added directly
to git, you can configure `annex.largefiles`. For example:
git config annex.largefiles "largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)"
* `git annex unlock` and `git annex lock` change how the pointer to
the annexed content is stored in git. If you commit the change,
that will impact all clones of the repository.
