+  * The "status" command has been renamed to "info", to allow
+    "git annex status" to be used in direct mode repositories, now that
+    "git status" won't work in them.
+  * The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by

+  * watcher: Avoid loop when adding a file owned by someone else fails
+    in indirect mode because its permissions cannot be modified.

+You can easily use a removable drive as a transfer repository to sync two computers that have no network connection. Just use the webapp to add the drive on one computer. The drive will be set up as a transfer repository by default. The webapp will automatically start copying all your files to it. Then you can disconnect the drive, bring it to the other computer, and repeat the process. Everything from the first computer will then sync over from the drive to the second computer. And repeat moving the drive back and forth to keep things in sync.

+I try to understand how to setup git-annex for the following use case:
+
+Two computers, that are paired via remote sharing, using some cloud repository for transfer, and a local NAS for backups.
+
+These two computers are sometimes in the same network, sometimes in different networks, and sometimes even without network at all. From what I read, it should be possible to bypass the cloud when these two machines are on the same network, which sounds great.
+
+Would it be possible to use a portable drive as \"another link\" between these two computers that can be used to sync them even if there is no network between them?
+
+And as you write, if the pairing has been set up manually, then everything is fine - so could it be that it is really easy and only necessary to setup the git-annex on the local drive as an additional remote on both (or only one?) machine?
+
+thanks for any insight!

+git-annex does not have a built-in file manager. I don't know how to get android to display a file manager; if there's a command that can be run, or an intent that can be used to get one, git-annex could do that. But I don't think android typically includes a file manager, I have only seen them as OEM addons on some of the more laptop form factor android devices.
+
+I think that the android web browser also does not support browsing file:// uri, which is what git-annex falls back to when it cannot file a file manager to top.

+Thanks for the explanation!  Might be better then to remove Files in Android build to prevent confusion?
+
+OI filemanager http://www.openintents.org/en/filemanager  I believe is open source.  according to app info it is only 1.53MB (thus negligible in comparison) and probably could be 'collaborated with' so they could ship basic support for annex (git annex get/drop)... I just don't know if it would be possible to start existing OI manager under annex user (that would be needed right?).

+### Please describe the problem.
+git annex status reports 160 semitrusted repositories. Four of them are the ones I created (only via webapp, I think I never edited any git-annex config file). One is 	00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001 -- web
+ and although I do not know what it is, it is not something new. The remaining 155 appeared spontaneously after several Gb of data (mostly many small files) were added to an Annex (in an 'archive' directory) operated in direct mode by the assistant.
+
+
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+Add several Gb of files was enough to trigger this problem, but I did not try to reproduce it. It happened the day I installed the 4.20131106~bpo70+1 version.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+4.20131106~bpo70+1 on debian squeeze (7.2), with git  1.8.4.rc3.
+
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+May be related or not: at some point the webapp displayed two warning boxes. One of them held a message that I did not wirte down and proposed to "Restart the thread". This apparently worked since the box disappeared. The other warning box indicated "NetWatcherFallback crashed: unknown response from git cat-file" and proposed to restart the thread. Trying to "restart the thread" via the provided button just did not trigger any response of the webapp which seemed dead at that point.
+
+In spite of the git annex status shown below, the webapp still shows only the expected four repositories.
+
+Output of git annex status (hostname and xmpp account name were edited away):

+Feel free to email me id@joeyh.name to arrange a secure transfer.

+One client is a thinkpad 121e, the other one a hp Z420 workstation. The archive is a basic Dell desktop. All of them run wheezy with git-annex and git  from official backports. The transfer repository is at rsync.net. 
+
+The daemon.log file was empty at the time I noticed the situation. Now git-annex has been scanning this repository for some time and the log has information again but it looks a bit too long to be posted here. I will email about the repository copy and the log.

+Some additional information (useful at least from user's point of view): the data that was in the annex but outside of the archive is still accessible from both clients. Part of the data that was in the archive does not seem to be accessible on one client: ```git annex get```  says it gets data in an amount which seems correct but the link to the data remains broken. Fortunately I can still access the data on the other client. Some of the data in the archive is still accessible in both clients. The part that is still accessible was put in the annex a few days ago, only the last directory which was added and seems to have triggered the problem is \"broken\" on one client. It is possible (not sure, sorry) that this directory was first added in the annex, and then moved to the archive shortly after, before the first addition had propagated to the other client.

+OK, sorry but it will be difficult to provide you with a copy of this repository. I hope I can still help in spite of being only a very novice git user. I checked that the git-annex:uuid.log file at the first commit was identical to the one above.  The only difference is that in this first commit file there is a mention at the bottom of who created the file (me@somedomain.com) with the mention \"created repository\". 
+
+So it is very possible that these nonexisting remotes are present since day 1. It is possible that I did not notice it earlier (I am not sure I had ever run git annex status in this repository since I am looking for a dropbox-like experience). What triggered my curiosity was the difficulty I had to get some data. At that point it might be that there are two independent problems. One with these nonexisting repositories, and another one with the fact that I cannot get some data in this client.
+
+Would it be useful to you to have the full history (52 revisions) of the git-annex:uuid.log file?

+Yes, it would be helpful to have the full history of the file.
+
+You might try running `git annex fsck` on the file in the client that it says it has gotten but that you cannot access.

+When I use git-annex webapp with a remote IP of a headless computer,
+I am sometimes redirected to a 127.0.0.1 address (with a different
+port as well)
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+1. Install git-annex as usual.
+2. Open git-annex assistant from a headless machine and access the
+webapp with the --listen option. (e.g. git annex webapp
+--listen=xxx.yyy.zzz.www)
+3. Create your first local repository. Then create a second local
+repository.
+4. When assistant asks you if you want to merge these 2
+repositories, try to select the second option (to keep them
+separated).
+5. You are redirected from your remote IP to 127.0.0.1 to a new port number.

+I tried to find a canonical source for why (or if?) git ignores any \".git\" directory, and it turns out it also ignores .git *files*, according to [this stackoverflow thread](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6839781/what-happens-when-you-run-git-add-git-in-a-git-repository). It's hardcoded in the source code and \"will likely not change\".
+
+I guess this should therefore be taken upstream, but I am not sure how this could justified there.
+
+I do think git-annex should support that. It's turning more and more as a \"generic backup solution\" or \"i want my files in the cloud\" kind of solution, which is awesome, but small things like this are making it harder to use... --[[anarcat]]

+After I wrote my last post in this thread I did write a patch for git doing two things:
+
+* make git ignore .git only at the root of the working tree, but not '.git' files or directories nested deeper into the working tree. 
+* add config option to prevent git from converting directories containing .git into gitlinks. It turns out that git already has an internal setting for this, it only needed to be exposed in the config files!
+
+It kind of worked, but I've never used nor completed this, though (if I recall correctly, something had to be done regarding the default gitingores, which contains .git). I don't think upstream would accept these changes, though. It is a potentially risky change that does not gives them any benefit. Plus commiting a git repo inside an other is kind of crazy. I'm not convinced this is a good solution anymore.
+
+Being able to put a git repo inside an assistant-controled directory would be nice, though. Additionally, letting the outermost git repo recognize the internal git repo as a git repo, instead of moving files blindly, would also be nice, and probably more reasonable. And that leads to submodules...
+
+My particular problem is: I want to syncing a directory with lots of little git repos across several machines, without having to configure remotes for every single one of them (so no mr) and having someone take care of the files which are ignored by the little git repos, possibly as annexed files. Currently I just sync that folder containing the little git repos with unison.
+
+Now, instead of commiting git repos inside git repos, I'm more inclined to a potential solution using git-annex + submodules. Ideally I'd like something like this:
+
+1. A git-annex repo at ~/work
+2. All my little git repos inside ~/work are automatically recognized as submodules by git-annex
+3. The outermost git-annex takes care of the .gitignored files for the inner git repos
+4. git pull/push --recursive on the outermost annex repo pulls/pushes submodules (I think [something like this](https://github.com/jlehmann/git-submod-enhancements/wiki/Recursive-submodule-checkout) is written by  Jens Lehmann)
+5. The urls in .gitmodules are relative paths from the outermost annex working tree. Then a git fetch --recursive from the outermost annex can use an outermost remote + the submodule relative path. No need to manually configure remotes for every machine on every submodule!
+
+The problem with this approach, is that 2,4,5 are science-fiction for now, and probably 3 too. Realizing this would imply a lot of work, and commiting a lot of submodule stuff to upstream git. But probably stuff that makes sense and they would accept. Anyway, I'd like to know what Joey thinks about all this...

+I appreciate the investigation.
+
+Now that there's a direct mode guard, it would be possible to have git-annex translate .git directories to some other name when adding files to git. This seems more likely than getting git changed.
+
+However, I am not convinced *at all* that it makes any sense to try to sync git repositories in this way. I realize that some people drop git checkouts into dropbox and use that, but it's a fundamentally unsound thing to do, and those people are just lucky if they manage to avoid running into problems doing that.
+
+If you have two clones of a repo, and a git repository is checked into both, and they become partitioned for a while and larger re-merge, then there can be conflicts in the files that make up the git repository. Which git-annex would auto-resolve, with the effect that the checked-in git repository would appear to be broken.
+
+Also, this feature would only be used by a small number of users, on the border between people who can use git the Correct Way, and people who don't use git other than with the assistant.
+
+It would make sense to make git-annex refuse to add files inside nested git repositories though.

+
+Well, I don't use dropbox (nor annex assistant) but I sync a lot of git repos with unison. It is not luck, it is being careful not to create conflicts. I agree this is not ideal, and I'm looking for a better way to deal with this.
+
+
+> Also, this feature would only be used by a small number of users
+
+I'm not convinced of that. If done right, nested git repos inside annex could have value.
+
+Let's say you work with 40 git repos some private of yours, others tracking upstream, and you want to sync them across 4 machines (home, work, cloud server, backup). I imagine your preferred solution would be to configure the 4 machines as remotes on every git repo and use mr, am I right?
+
+This has its problems:
+
+1. The set of files you want in the project git repo may not be the same as the set of files you want synced across machines. For instance, I use a large software project that I compile from sources. I want to sync binaries across machines (it takes forever to compile!), but of course I don't want them commited into the project, not even as annexed files.
+2. Configuring remotes for every project is tedious. What if some remote changes url? what if I want to change the path of some of the git projects? Every time I add a new repo I need to configure all the 4 remotes. This can be scripted of course, but is not my ideal solution.
+
+What do you think about the submodules route I proposed? I don't like submodules very much, but in this case, I think it could become a good solution. In particular it would solve 1, 2 above and be able to merge conflicting changes on the nested repos.

+Once you have the git tree of the repository back in good shape, assuming you did it by committing changes, and possibly committing git reverts, you should be able to just use normal git annex syncing to sync those changes to the second repo. Ie, `git annex sync` in both, or running the assistant.

+### Please describe the problem.
+Yesterday I installed git-annex on two computers and paired their repos.  Today I logged back in to one of them, and as soon as the webapp loaded (autostarted in the background), it popped up an OpenSSH prompt wanting my key's password.  I typed it in, and it popped up another.  This went on several times.  When I hit Cancel instead, it popped up a prompt wanting the password for the user account on my other computer.  Even with that, once wasn't enough.
+
+This is bad enough, but worse is that the password prompt captures the keyboard input so I can't even open my Yakuake console to kill git-annex.  Well, it's difficult and requires hitting Escape rapidly over and over until I can squeeze in a keystroke to the rest of the system.
+
+I don't understand why this is happening.
+
+1.  Shouldn't git-annex have installed a passwordless key on my paired system?  It did that for my remote repo.
+
+2.  The prompt it's using has no option to remember the pasword.  I use ssh-agent, but usually by running ssh-add in a terminal.  Maybe if it would use a prompt that works with the agent it wouldn't ask for the password multiple times.  
+
+3.  I think it's opening multiple SSH connections at once, before I've entered the password even once, so even after I enter the password, it will keep asking for it until I've entered it for every SSH process that was already started.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

+I can't reproduce this at all. What version of git do you have installed? Did you install git-annex from ubuntu's repository? Does the same thing happen if you install the standalone linux tarball and use it to make a new repository?
+
+git-annex never creates a file named uuid.log on disk, so it's quite strange that it shows up in the initial commit to the master branch. It sort of looks like somehow git-annex's normal use of a separate index file to stage the uuid.log to the git-annex branch is failing. Since I have never seen any problem with that, I have to suspect that the ubuntu build is somehow badly broken. Or that the git in Ubuntu is for some reason ignoring `GIT_INDEX_FILE`.

+Running the prebuilt tarball build of git-annex, the bug does not occur.
+
+However, if I remove the git shipped with the prebuilt tarball, so it uses the system git, I do see the bug. So, it's apparently git version dependent.
+
+Also, I was able to reproduce it in a amd64 chroot. My other chroot was i386. Somehow architecture specific bug?
+
+---
+
+Instrumenting all calls to git to be logged with the full environment and command, I found this:
+
+<pre>
+GIT_INDEX_FILE='/home/foo/annex/.git/annex/index'
+--git-dir=/home/foo/annex/.git --work-tree=/home/foo/annex commit --quiet --allow-empty -m created repository
+</pre>
+
+This certainly looks like the index file setting for the git-annex branch is somehow leaking out past the branch commit operations. It continued setting that while setting up `gc.auto`; the next call to git after that stopped setting the index file.
+
+The only way I can see offhand this could possibly happen is due to an exception. It may be that on ubuntu an exception is thrown by code that runs a git command with the index file set, for whatever reason, and this causes the code that normally resets it back to not run.
+
+----
+
+Ok, found it! 
+
+<pre>
+\"withIndex entered\"
+
+*** Please tell me who you are.
+
+Run

+  git config --global user.email \"you@example.com\"

+Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
+
+fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'foo@darkstar.(none)')
+\"withIndex entered\"
+\"withIndex cleaned up\"
+</pre>
+
+Note lack of clean up after the first withIndex call. Thus leaving the environment passed to git polluted for further calls.
+
+This also explains why it's only happening on some systems, or with some versions of git. git's got all kinds of complexity around its username and email handling code.
+
+I have fixed this in git.

+Note that (as stated in the comments) this might not be a bug. The problem might somewhere within Git, because Git does not manage file permissions very well.

+I cannot reproduce this problem on Linux, with version 4.20131106. I tried in both direct and indirect mode, on Linux. 
+
+I was, however, able to exactly reproduce the error message if I made the *directory* be not writable, and used indirect mode. This is because git-annex has to move the file the .git/annex/objects, and put a symlink in place, and so has to be allowed to write to the directory. Interestingly, direct mode does not have this limiation, although I doubt git-annex would ever be very useful when run in a directory you lack write permission to.

 Ok, I've merged the glacier branch into master. I would still be happy to see some testing of this before my next release (in a week).

+The duplicates script fails because the BSD/MacOS version of uniq doesn't support the -D option.
+
+You can work around this by installing the GNU version using Homebrew ('brew install coreutils') and then replacing the 'uniq' in the script with 'guniq' (Homebrew prefixes the coreutils with \"g\" by default).
+
+I seem to still be running in to this bug using git annex version 4.20131106 and 'git annex copy --to glacier' without the '--not --in glacier' flags.  It's not a problem to use the extra flags but I wasn't originally aware of this issue and the duplicates don't seem to always occur.  I'll do some more testing and see whether I can reliably predict what will create duplicates and what won't.

 This turns out to be much worse in direct mode than in indirect mode.
 
-In indirect mode, it only does extra work during the full startup scan. Suppose there are 3 files with the same content, 1, archive/2, and 3. It will download 1, and then will drop archive/2, and then will download 3. This certianly is not ideal, especially when the file content is large.

 In indirect mode, it continally and repeatedly downloads the drops the files, as long as it's running. Which is beyond unacceptable.

+- A: use the webapp to create a new repository
+- A: add a remote server to the repository using the 'gcrypt' method
+- A: add a jabber account

+- B: use the webapp to create a new repository
+- B: add the jabber account
+- B: see the previously created 'cloud repository' with status 'not enabled'
+- B: click enable, see that the stored credentials are correct, and press "verify this server"

+The assistent logfiles show nothing after the "Your public key has been saved in", the server shows that no public key for B was added to the account.

+I verify this bug. And it's specific to direct mode as you say. Here is a shell script which automates the proccess:
+
+[[!format sh \"\"\"
+#!/bin/sh
+set -e
+mkdir test
+cd test
+git init a
+
+cd a
+git annex init
+git annex direct
+touch firstfile
+git annex add firstfile
+git annex sync # think this was left out of recipe
+
+cd ..
+
+git clone a b
+cd b
+git annex direct
+echo bbbb > f
+git annex add f
+git annex sync || true
+cd ..
+cd a
+mkdir f
+echo aaaa > f/f
+git annex add f/f
+git annex sync || true
+cd ..
+cd b
+git annex sync
+echo \"after merge:\"
+ls
+\"\"\"]]
+
+At this point, b only has the file version of f; the directory form has been removed. (Syncing to a of course then does the same thing there.)
+
+And from the trascript, we can see what's going on:
+
+<pre>
+Adding f/f
+CONFLICT (directory/file): There is a directory with name f in HEAD. Adding f as f~refs_heads_synced_master
+Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.
+(Recording state in git...)
+f: needs merge
+[master 0600854] git-annex automatic merge conflict fix
+
+  Merge conflict was automatically resolved; you may want to examine the result.
+</pre>
+
+The problem seems to be that direct mode merge does not find the `f~refs_heads_synced_master` created by the merge, so fails to copy it from the temp merge tree into the work tree.
+
+`Command.Sync.cleanConflictCruft` is relevant, but was only made to work in indirect mode, it seems.
+
+----
+
+Obviously, if someone runs into this bug and seems to lose data, they can get the data back by reverting the changes from the automatic merge. Direct mode does preserve file contents when removing them from the work tree in a merge.

+My initial guess was wrong.. This is not actually a bug in conflicted merge resolution at all.
+
+The bug is that in direct mode, it diffs the old and new tree when doing a normal merge, so see what files in the work tree need to be changed. This was written to go through the diff and replay the deletes and adds. In this case, since f/f and f are different items, they can appear in either order in the diff But the code only worked when f was first deleted, and f/f was then added. And it turns out that in this case, the diff had the two items the other way around.
+
+So, I think it needs to do 2 passes, first deleting and then adding.

+Hmm. In your script, when you run `git annex sync` in a and then `echo aaaa > f`, f already exists at that point as a symlink. This actually ends up following the link and writing to .git/annex/objects. (fsck will detect that junk has been written there)
+
+That's a bug on its own; seems like direct mode is neglecting to lock down the .git/annex/objects directories to prevent writing to them like this.
+
+----
+
+However, this means that your script does not demonstrate the bug you originally reported. 
+You remove b/f and sync, and since a/f has not been changed, the deleting is correctly synced to a, removing a/f.

+Looking back at the original bug description:
+
+\"repo A a symlink to a file whose contents aren't yet available, are overwritten, while at repo B the file is deleted.\"
+
+I think the \"overwritten\" is key. I suspect you were always doing echo > f where f was a symlink, and this does not actually overwrite the symlink, it just puts data (that fsck will reject) into the annex.
+
+So, proceeding as if the real bug here is the ability to write through symlink in direct mode, unless told otherwise..

+There is something a little strange in the logs. It shows both Onyx and kubbie are sending PairReqs. Probably one of those is the local computer, logging its own broadcast messages which loop back to it. But normally in pairing, one side starts the pairing process with a PairReq, and the other side pops up an alert and continues the process with a PairAck. It's not normal for both sides to request that pairing start.
+
+Is it possible that you started pairing on both computers separately?
+
+I tried doing that with gnu and darkstar. First I started pairing on gnu. darkstar saw the pair request, but I ignored the alert message about that, and went  and started a separate pairing process on darkstar. gnu never showed an alert message for that; it ignored darkstar's PairReqs since it was sending its own.
+
+It's unlikely you'd ignore the alert, but the same thing could happen if the two computers were not able to communicate over the network initially, and pairing were started on both separately. So neither gets a chance to see the other's PairReq and show the alert. Even when they came into communication, they'd each ignore the other's PairReq.
+
+So, that seems like a bug..

+I did indeed try to pair from both systems.  What happened was, after I started the pair request, I went to the other system, and there was no pair request listed.  So I misunderstood the directions and thought I was supposed to go ahead and enter the same password into the other system.  (It says that pairing will complete as soon as the password is entered on the other system, so it seems reasonable to try that.)  Then both systems were constantly issuing pair requests, but neither system was responding to the requests, even though it was receiving them.
+
+Both systems were always on the network and always able to communicate over it.  The bug went away when I upgraded to the 1 Nov release...but then I had some very confusing issues with partially-paired repos from different git-annex versions...I ended up having to start git-annex over from scratch on both systems with the 1 Nov build.
+
+So I'm not sure where to go from here with this bug.  Thanks for your help.

+### Please describe the problem.
+
+The .dmg the OSX build is distributed in  is unnecessarily large (fixed size) and is externally compressed.
+
+I did a quick survey of .dmg images used for distributing other pieces of software which I had downloaded to my Mac, and most of them seem to be the UDBZ or the (older) UDZO formats which are internally compressed with bzip2 or zlib.  According to "man hdiutil", the UDBZ format is supported since 10.4 (Tiger).
+
+Below are a pair of patches: first to enable "make clean" to work on OSX, second to build the .dmg in the UDBZ format and without an explicit size (it seems to infer a correct size).  When I tested building it, it results in a .dmg which is slightly smaller than the old .dmg.bz2
+
+(This will also require a change to remove the .bz2 from the download links elsewhere in the wiki.)

+I've checked, and shutting down the daemon does cause it to stop any transfers it is running.
+
+However, this does not stop other transfers initiated by the other paired computer.

+### Please describe the problem.
+This is related to [[http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/assistant_does_not_always_use_repo_cost_info_when_queueing_downloads/]]
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+1.  Make a client repo on two machines on the local network.
+2.  Pair them.
+3.  Make a remote transfer repo.
+4.  Set up Jabber on both local machines.
+5.  Put a large file into the annex on one of the local machines.
+6.  Watch as the source client repo copies the file directly to the local paired machine, but also copies it to the remote transfer repo.
+7.  Wait for the local paired transfer to finish.
+8.  Manually disable syncing to the remote transfer repo.
+9.  Manually reenable it.
+10.  Watch as the remote transfer is not resumed.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+Using the 1 Nov Linux tarball, Ubuntu Raring.
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+This is a problem because unless I manually disable the remote repo, it will continue uploading the large file until it finishes, which uses the limited upstream bandwidth on my Internet connection--and this could take hours depending on the size of the file.
+
+The remote transfer wasn't even necessary to begin with, because it already had a direct connection to the local paired repo.  But even so, it should at least abort the remote transfer when the local transfer finishes.
+
+Thanks for your work on git-annex assistant.

+Yes, either of the assistants will still back up files to it, as long as they have it configured as a git remote. The same way that your transfer repository is (probably) not running the git-annex assistant.
+
+It does sound like using the removable drive UI would have saved you some trouble. I'm not sure why the webapp would not list a llvm device as a removable drive -- from inspecting the code, it seems like it would not be filtered out, as long as /proc/mounts shows the decive as /dev/something (I don't have a llvm device handy to check what it looks like).

+In what order does the webapp list your repositories? 
+
+When a new file appears, it will always go through the list of repositories in order, and try to transfer the file to each in turn, unless the configuration indicates it shouldn't. So, if the remote transfer repo is listed before the local repo, it will first upload the file to the transfer repo, and then upload it to the local repo. (And then later on, remove it from the transfer repo, since the file has reached all clients, probably.) OTOH, if the local repo comes first, it will upload the file to it over the LAN, and then when it comes to the transfer repo, if the file has successfully been sent to all clients, the transfer repo will no longer want it, and so no expensive upload is done over the internet.
+
+You can re-order the repository list in the webapp by dragging them up and down. It should default to having your locally paired repos first, unless you've changed it. If you think it came up with the wrong order, paste in your .git/config before you re-order the repositories..

+What I have set up (or intended to set up) is:
+
+* Client: me@laptop:~/annex
+* Client: me@desktop:~/annex
+* Transfer: username@example.net:~/annex
+* Full Backup: me@desktop:/mnt/debian/home/me/annex-backup
+
+What I expected was that:
+
+1.  The two Client repos would sync directly over the LAN whenever possible.
+2.  The transfer repo would be used only to sync the laptop and desktop, and then only if my laptop were not on the LAN with my desktop.
+3.  The Full Backup repo would be synced directly with the me@desktop Client repo, within the same system, from one hard disk to the other.
+
+But what I'm seeing is...not quite that.
+
+1.  It's very confusing (to me, at least) that on my desktop system I can look at my annex setup from the \"perspective\" of both local repos.  When I \"switch\" to the other repo, the setup looks different: even the same repos can have different names and descriptions, and can be enabled and disabled independently depending on the \"perspective\"...but their Type is still the same.
+
+2.  Looking from the \"perspective\" of the Full Backup repo, I'm seeing files being transferred to the Transfer repo, even though those files are already present in both Client repos, and even though the webapp says that the Full Backup repo has been synced.  When I disable and reenable the Transfer repo, it starts those transfers over again, even though they aren't necessary.  For example, here is the log from disabling and reenabling the Transfer repo from the \"perspective\" of the Full Backup repo:

+One other thing, sorry, but I think this is important:  From the perspective of the Full Backup repo, I set the Transfer repo to be deleted, thinking that would prevent the desktop's Client and Full Backup repos from syncing through the Transfer repo.  But then when I switch to the perspective of the desktop's Client repo, it is \"cleaning out\" the Transfer repo--but I wanted the Transfer repo to be used for syncing the two Client repos!  So I set it back to Transfer instead of Unwanted...but then when I switch back to the Full Backup perspective, the Transfer repo is no longer Unwanted.

+* Yes, deleting a repository in the webapp actually deletes it. It doesn't just remove the remote from .git/config. Most people using the webapp don't want to draw such a fine distinction, I think.

+> It's not a very usual configuration to have 2 repositories on the same machine with the git-annex assistant running in both. You might just want to configure the assistant to not run in the backup repository.
+
+Maybe that's the crux of the problem.  But I'm not sure what I did wrong to make that happen.  I have a second internal hard disk in my desktop system, and I wanted to put a Full Backup repo on it.  I tried to add a \"Removable drive\" repo (since I sometimes unplug it to swap cables with a DVD drive), but since the assistant didn't detect any actual removable drives, that didn't work.  So I used \"Add another repository\" and set it to a Full Backup repo.  Is that the wrong way to do it?  :)

+> Some of the things you've said suggest that the backup repository might not be immediately noticing when changes are pushed to it. Since its location is shown as /mnt/debian/home/me, I have to wonder if that's some NFS mount or other network filesystem causing problems.

+/mnt/debian is /dev/mapper/lvm-root, another internal disk.  The disk is working fine.  :)

+Ok, since we don't have NFS craziness, I'm going to put theories about it not noticing incoming syncs on hold. (I think I probably misunderstood [this comment](http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Unnecessary_remote_transfers/#comment-39490c318620c141e7557b7bcba0e5c8) and anyway the assistant has some throttling so won't always immediately load config changes that have been synced to it if some other config changes were loaded a minute before.)
+
+I think this behavior can probably be explained without resorting to any bugs, now that I have, I think, a full picture of the repository network:
+
+<pre>
+laptop <-> desktop <-> backup
+    |         |       |
+    v         v       v
+      transfer (cloud)
+</pre>
+
+Now when a file is added to desktop, it immediately copies it to backup, which is on the same machine, so that happens quite quickly. Then it starts sending it across the LAN to laptop.
+
+Meanwhile, the assistant daemon running on backup wakes up, notices it's just received an object, and sees that this object is currently located on only desktop and backup, but not yet on laptop or transfer. Which means that it should send the object to transfer, from which it will eventually reach laptop.
+
+The only ways I can think of to avoid such an unnecessary transfer would be a) for desktop could somehow tell backup that it's in the process of sending the file to laptop or b) for a map of current state of the network to be constructed and maintained and analyzed automatically, so it it could conclude backup does not need to send files to transfer if they're already present on desktop. There is some discussion about this in [[design/assistant/syncing]]. Hard problem in general I think, although slightly less hard in this specific case since desktop and backup know they're in the same machine.
+
+But it should be easy to configure it so this doesn't happen. Just make backup not have the transfer repository configured as a remote (or just pause it syncing to there in the webapp). Or, don't run the assistant at all on backup (see `~/.config/git-annex/autostart`).

+Seems to me this was probably fixed in [[!commit 6b37fcffd872b62fb78047a77e4cee5ab0bb57f1]].
+
+However, I don't know why permission problems would happen on Android, which typically uses a filesystem that does not have restricted permissions for the sdcard.
+
+If you upgrade, you should be able to see if it fixed the crash, and it will also mention any file or directory that it's unable to read in the log.

+This is apparently the same repository where [[all_this_went_on|bugs/Unnecessary_remote_transfers]].
+
+I don't know if this is indicative of a problem. I see more zombies than I would normally expect, but I don't know if the number is growing, or shrinking, or staying the same. You should at least look at ps -f to see which of the multiple git-annex assistant daemons you have configured to run on this machine (not a usual configuration) is the parent of the zombies.

+Indeed.  I've been looking forward to setting up git-annex assistant for a long time, waiting until I had more free time, and was finally pushed to do it when I had a weird problem with Dropbox.  I'm not sure what I did wrong to make such a mess, haha.
+
+I see \"5510 git-annex assistant\" and \"31565 git-annex webapp\"--does the \"webapp\" one count as an assistant process too?

+I believe that these zombies were all caused by switching between repository views in the webapp. I was able to reproduce 1 zombie per switch between repos.
+
+There are a few other places where git-annex execs itself, but not many, and most of them are often used and it would be noticed if they were crypts from which pour forth the living dead. (Oddly the TV show I was thinking about watching this evening.)

+Seems like I should fix the standalone linux tarball to either include the host program, or better, build git-annex with the Haskell [DNS library](https://hackage.haskell.org/package/dns). (I think that the Mac app and other builds are built with DNS by default, since they have dependencies installed using cabal directly).
+
+I need to first get that library included in Debian, so I can install it reliably on my build systems.

+This was previously suggested in the forum: [[forum/Suggestion:_Put_ssh_server_back_into_android_version]]
+
+As said there, I feel that `adb` is a better option in these situations. Of course, the git-annex bundle already has a ssh client, so you can rsync files from it to other ssh servers too.
+
+Also, the bundle is too big, I don't want to make it any bigger.

+we just shrinked the bundle by 60MB so there could be some space for sshd.

 If it's the terminal at fault, it would continue after you shutdown the git-annex daemon, since that doesn't close the terminal.

+Dropbox handles permissions, e.g. if I \"chmod -x\" a file on one system, it does the same to my other systems.  It would be a bit of a step backward if git-annex can't do this.  :/  Just my two cents.

+Per forum post linking to this bug, git commit can be very slow when run in a filesystem without symlink support, and seems to be reading the content of files just in order to show typechanged messages in the status.
+
+So, git annex sync should stop using git commit when in direct mode, and instead manually make its own commit. Git.Branch.commit and Git.Branch.update should be able to easily be used for this.

+### Please describe the problem.
+I followed the tip on [fully encrypted git repositories with gcrypt](http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/fully_encrypted_git_repositories_with_gcrypt/) to create encrypted git-annex repository on a ssh server. When I try to checkout the repository, things break as follows:
+
+`git clone gcrypt::ssh://my.server/home/me/encryptedrepo myrepo` 
+
+works as expected but when in the myrepo directory, 
+
+`git annex enableremote encryptedrepo gitrepo=ssh://my.server/home/me/encryptedrepo`
+
+issues the following text (among normal messages):
+
+`git-annex-shell: gcryptsetup permission denied`
+
+Then while the links are there, 
+
+`git annex get --from encryptedrepo`
+
+does nothing (in the sense that the content is not retrieved). 
+
+This seems to have everything to do with git-annex-shell as the exact same manipulations but with a local repository work perfectly. Unfortunately, I don't know haskell so [this code](https://github.com/joeyh/git-annex/blob/master/Command/GCryptSetup.hs) is cryptic to me. I can guess there is a problem getting the uuid of the repository, but as far as I can tell the bare distant repo looks fine. 
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+Create a standard git annex local repository and then follow the [fully encrypted git repositories with gcrypt tip](http://git-annex.branchable.com/tips/fully_encrypted_git_repositories_with_gcrypt/) to create an encrypted git-annex repository on a ssh server. Then follow the instructions in the same tip to clone the remote repository. 
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

+The git-annex version on the remote server is the same as the one on the client, the latest one available from the ppa (4.20131024). When I run git-annex-shell on both computers, I obtain:

+I should have looked at that error message more closely. The gcryptsetup command will print a permission denied if the repository it's being run in already has a annex.uuid or already has a gcrypt id. Probably that latter needs to be relaxed for enableremote to work.

+While I've fixed this bug, in my testing the bug only caused git-annex to fall back to accessing the remote repository using rsync, rather than using git-annex-shell to talk to it, and so `git annex get --from encryptedrepo` was able to retrieve files that were stored in that remote despite the bug. That may have failed for you for some other reason.
+
+You can set git.encryptedrepo.annex-gcrypt to to \"true\" to make it use the degraded rsync mode, or to \"shell\" to make it use git-annex-shell. Setting it to shell should be all that you need to do to recover from (or indeed, work around this bug).

+There is something very strange that I did not notice in my first report. When I try `git annex get --from encryptedrepo` nothing happens in the sense that git annex is not even trying to connect to the remote (no ssh connection attempt) while git.encryptedrepo.annex-gcrypt is set to true. When I set it to shell, nothing happens either. 
+
+Another thing I did not report is that I tried the exact same manipulations with another server on which git annex is not installed. The `gcryptsetup permission denied` message was replaced by a `git-annex-shell not found` (or something similar), as expected. But the rest of the behavior was the same: no way to get the actual content with `git annex get --from`. Again, all of this is with 4.20131024, not with the ongoing version. 
+
+I'll try got do more test with the new version.

+`git annex whereis` says the files are not on the remote git, while they are because of the copy. If I do _exactly_ what's on the tip, that is if I clone the encrypted git just after having done `git annex copy --to encryptedbackup`, the remotes seems to ignore that it has the data. To have it working, I had to call `git annex sync` (push will do, I guess) in the original remote after doing the `git annex copy`. Then I can `git pull` and `git annex whereis` knows where the files are (or I can clone the encrypted remote after doing the sync/pull). 
+
+It seems a bit strange that the copy command does not record the propagation of the file to the encrypted git. I guess this is because gcrypt is the only special remote that stores also the git part, right? Would that be a good idea (and possible) to handle it in a special way? 
+
+Thanks Joey for everything, by the way, both the software and the amazing support via email and the website.

+Right -- Normally a special remote doesn't include a git repository. And when using a regular git remote, `git-annex-shell` is used to receive files into the repository and it records immediately that the repo has the file so there's no need to sync in that case. So gcrypt is special in this way.
+
+For now, I have fixed the tip to show syncing after sending files to gcrypt. It might be the case that it would make sense to do a push of the git-annex branch automatically in that case, will have to think about that and see if people get tripped up on this.

+<https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=28598> seems relevant (and the patches to fix it seem likely to have led to the linker rejecting this).
+
+So I can probably stop torturing your soft keyboards. I need a binary where `arm-linux-androideabi-4.8/bin/arm-linux-androideabi-readelf -r` does not contain `R_ARM_COPY`. Checking against the binaries so far, this consistently matches the test results, all the git-annex binaries have:
+
+<pre>
+ Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym. Name
+011d05f0  00004e14 R_ARM_COPY        011d05f0   environ
+</pre>
+
+(Which is itself interesting; I've had to work around some problems with the haskell port not supporting getting the environment (Annex.Branch.withIndex). Possibly because it was copied and the linker screwed that up? <https://github.com/neurocyte/ghc-android/issues/7>)
+
+Ok, here's a binary that meets those criteria. Obtained by passing -z nocopyreloc to the gold linker (ghc options -optl-z -optlnocopyreloc)
+
+<http://tmp.kitenet.net/git-annex-nocopy>
+
+Also, here's a hello world binary that *should* fail. It attempts to read and print the environment, and has the same `R_ARM_COPY` relocation.
+
+<http://tmp.kitenet.net/hello-env-copy>
+
+And, here's a hello world binary that *might* successfully print out the full environment (like `set` does). If it does, I can also remove the ugly hack in Annex.Branch.withIndex. Which would be an unexpected reward.

+Now that I can try running the 10.8 dmg on 10.9 myself, I get this failure:

+
+This makes me think that that adding back the OSX frameworks might possibly yield a dmg that can work on both versions. Although that's probably more likely to work if it's built on 10.8 and used on 10.9 than the other way around. Might be worth a try to revert commit 900351ab8585c171486cef853eff4a95ec151e6f and commit 9b663c7f8cf82cee523b75be1a8786fa7d34b428 to try that.
+
+Oh well, I should have a native 10.9 dmg autobuild set up before too long. 10.8 autobuilder has built its last image unfortunately, due to being upgraded to 10.9.

 The repeated \"(gpg)\" is an interesting clue, since normally git-annex only runs gpg once, to unlock an encrypted special remote's encryption key, and then should retain the key, cached in memory. I was able to reproduce this part of the bug (but not the zombie processes) when I purposfully broke the bup special remote by making it throw an error when it was supposed to run bup to send a file. That defeats the caching, since the state, including the cache, is thrown away when there's an exception. Working on a fix for that..

+### Please describe the problem.
+
+I am having trouble using the webapp with a setup I did on the commandline that was working fine.
+
+I have two machines: one, a server called `marcos`, is available on the internetz and I cloned a repo from there into `markov`, a workstation that is hidden behind a NAT connexion (so I can't add it as a remote).
+
+It seems that because the remote is not locally available as a git remote, the webapp is freaking out because it doesn't recognize `markov` as a proper remote.
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+1. setup git annex locally (on `marcos`) in a repository (probably `git annex init; git annex direct; git annex add .` i somewhat followed [[tips/Git_annex_and_Calibre/]])
+2. `git clone` that repo on a remote, unaccessible (NAT'd) server (`markov`)
+3. start doing some git annex get, get tired, run the web app on `markov`
+4. let that run over there, go back to `marcos`
+5. be curious about what is going on on `markov`, run the webapp and enter the path to the repository created in step one when prompted (it's the first time i run the webapp)
+6. it starts up fine, but doesn't seem to detect `markov`, marking transfers as going to the remote named `unknown`
+7. click on the `unknown` link, crash
+8. go back to the dashboard, crash
+
+From there on, the webapp is pretty much crashed, starting it from scratch asks me if i want to create a git annex repo.

+The 4201 dangling blobs is a little bit strange, although it could certainly happen in some normal scenarios.
 Overall, your repository seems to be ok except for this weird data in the one file. I do not anticipate the extra garbage causing any problems at all.
 
 To track this down, we need to find the commit that added the garbage. One way, assuming you're using indirect mode, is to `git checkout git-annex; git blame uuid.log` and `git show` the commit that added the garbage. If you're using direct mode, you should first `git clone` the repository and do that in the clone.

+### Please describe the problem.
+
+This is a followup on [[bugs/internal_server_error:_unknown_UUID_on_webapp]]. In that issue, webapps previous to 20130929 would crash with `internal server error: unknown UUID`. This was fixed at that date, but some problems remain, namely that the remote that is recognized on the commandline doesn't show up in the webapp.
+
+`markov` is able to push to `marcos`, but not the reverse because `markov` is hidden behind a NAT. `git annex sync` seems to do the right thing accordingly on both ends (which is: `marcos` doesn't try to push to `markov` but `markov` pushes to `marcos`).
+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+See [[bugs/internal_server_error:_unknown_UUID_on_webapp]]. I didn't do any further changes other than upgrade `git-annex` on both ends.
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+`marcos` is now running `Version: 4.20131105-g8efdc1a Build flags: Assistant Webapp Pairing Testsuite S3 WebDAV Inotify DBus XMPP DNS Feeds Quvi TDFA CryptoHash`
+
+`markov` is now running the wheezy backport, `4.20131002~bpo70+1`.

+marcov does not show up in the webapp because there is no configured git remote for it.
+
+This is a slightly confusing corner of the webapp. The webapp will show repositories that do not have a configured remote, but it only does it for special remotes. ssh repos, being regular git remotes, don't currently show up in the webapp unless that repository is actually set up as a remote.
+
+It should certainly not show it as \"unknown\"; it would be much better to use the full repo description here, since it does not have a remote name.
+(Unless the description is really long!)
+
+I think you'll also get the \"unknown uuid\" screen even for a special remote that is not configured in the local repository. So that needs to be fixed.
+
+Finally, it would probably be good for the webapp to show ssh repos that don't have remotes as existing, and let the user enter a ssh address to configure them. The problem with trying to do this is it actually has no idea that this is a ssh repo. It could just as easily be a local directory. The UI to configure  it would be pretty elaborate.

+The git-annex binary is around 45 mb on Linux. The android binary statically links a few additional C libraries, so is slightly larger.
+
+The only way I know of to potentially shrink it is to fix certian ghc / ld interactions that, in my limited understanding, cause functions that are never used to be linked into the binary if another function in the same file (or module) is used. That might half its size or something.

+Apologies for not following up on this bug sooner..
+
+It seems to me that your system has a broken ssh-keygen program. You didn't say how you installed git-annex, but based on the git rev in the version number, I'm guessing you either built it yourself, or you're using the standalone tarball I build.
+
+In the case of the latter, it didn't include ssh-keygen, so would try to use the one that comes with fedora. It seems likely that the problem comes from the libraries included in the bundle being used with a binary not in the bundle, that in turn is also using additional libraries.
+
+So, I think I should add ssh-keygen to the standalone bundle!

+
+When using a git remote which doesn't support git-annex (f.e. gitlab) and is configured with `annex-ignore true` the remote is shown as `unfinished repository` in the webapp.

+The assistant should support upgrading itself.
+
+## non-distro upgrades
+
+When git-annex was installed from this website, the assistant should poll
+periodically (once a day or so) to see if there is a new version.
+It downloads, over https, a .info file, which contains a serialized data
+type containing upgrade information. The url it's downloaded from is
+configured by setting `UPGRADE_LOCATION` when building git-annex on the
+autobuilders.
+
+When a new version is found, the webapp prompts the user to start the
+upgrade. (annex.autoupgrade can be set to true to upgrade w/o prompting.)
+
+The upgrade process is automatic, and rather tricky. The file is downloaded
+using git-annex (as a regular key!), and is then unpacked into a new
+directory, and the programfile updated to point to it. Then git-annex
+restarts itself.
+
+### manifest files
+
+To clean up the old installation, a git-annex.MANIFEST file is looked for
+in it, and the files listed, as well as empty directories, are deleted.
+I don't want to accidentially delete something I didn't ship!
+
+## restart on upgrade
+
+When git-annex is installed from a proper distribution package, there is no
+need for the above. But, the assistant still needs to notice when git-annex
+get upgraded, and offer to restart (or automatically restart when
+annex.autoupgrade is set).
+
+This is done using the DirWatcher, watching the directory containing the
+git-annex binary. Or, in the case of a non-distro install, watching the
+directory where eg git-annex.linux/ was unpacked.
+
+When an change is detected, restart.
+
+## multi-daemon upgrades
+
+A single system may have multiple assistant daemons running in different
+repositories.
+
+In this case, one daemon should do the non-distro upgrade, and the rest
+should notice the upgrade and restart.
+
+I don't want every daemon trying to download the file at once..
+
+Approach: The first new version is installed into a stable directory, based
+on its version. So, start the upgrade by making this directory. If upgrade
+is already in progress, the directory will already exist. (Remove directory
+if upgrade fails.)

+I've been investigating ways to implement a [[/todo/direct_mode_guard]].
+Preventing a stray `git commit -a` or `git add` doing bad things in a
+direct mode repository seems increasingly important.
+
+First, considered moving `.git`, so git won't know it's a git repository.
+This doesn't seem *too* hard to do, but there will certainly be unexpected
+places that assume `.git` is the directory name.
+
+I dislike it more and more as I think about it though, because it moves
+direct mode git-annex toward being entirely separate from git, and I don't
+want to write my own version control system. Nor do I want to complicate
+the git ecosystem with tools needing to know about git-annex to work in
+such a repository.
+
+So, I'm happy that one of the other ideas I tried today seems quite
+promising. Just set core.bare=true in a direct mode repository. This nicely
+blocks all git commands that operate on the working tree from doing
+anything, which is just what's needed in direct mode, since they don't know
+how to handle the direct mode files. But it lets all git commands and other
+tools that don't touch the working tree continue to be used. You can even
+run `git log file` in such a repository (surprisingly!)
+
+It also gives an easy out for anyone who really wants to use git commands
+that operate on the work tree of their direct mode repository, by just
+passing `-c core.bare=false`. And it's really easy to implement in
+git-annex too -- it can just notice if a repo has core.bare and
+annex.direct both set, and pass that parameter to every git command it
+runs. I should be able to get by with only modifying 2 functions to
+implement this.

+Long, long day coding up the direct mode guard today. About 90% of the fun
+is dealing with `receive.denyCurrentBranch` not preventing pushes that
+change the current branch, now that core.bare is set in direct mode.
+My current solution to this involves using a special branch when using
+direct mode, which nothing will ever push to (hopefully). A much nicer
+solution would be to use a `update` hook to deny pushes of the current
+branch -- but there are filesystems where repos cannot have git hooks.

+Started by tracking down a strange bug that was apparently
+ubuntu-specific and caused git-annex branch changes to get committed to
+master. Root cause turned out to failing to recover from an
+exception. I'm kicking myself about that, because I remember looking at the
+code where the bug was at least twice before and thinking "hmm, should add
+exception handling here? nah..". Exceptions are horrible.
+
+Made a release with a fix for that and a few minor other accumulated
+changes since last Friday's release. The pain point of this release is to
+fix building without the webapp (so it will propigate to Debian testing,
+etc). This release does not include the direct mode guard, so I'll have a
+few weeks until the next release to get that tested.
+
+Fixed the test suite in `directguard`. This branch is now nearly ready to
+merge to master, but one command that is badly needed in guarded direct
+mode is "git status". So I am planning to rename "git annex status" to
+"git annex info", and make "git annex status" display something similar
+to "git status".
+
+Also took half an hour and added optional [[EKG]] support to git-annex.
+This is a Haskell library that can add a terrific monitoring console web
+UI to any program in 2 lines of code. Here we can see the git-annex
+webapp using resources at startup, followed in a few seconds by the
+assistant's startup scan of the repository.
+
+[[!img ekg/ekg.png]]
+
+BTW, Kevin tells me that the machine used to build git-annex for OSX is
+going to be upgraded to 10.9 soon. So, hopefully I'll be making autobuilds
+of that. I may have to stop the 10.8.2 autobuilds though.

+One of my goals for this month is to get a better sense of how git-annex is

+concentrated on. To start on that, I am doing the 
+[2013 git-annex user survey](http://git-annex-survey.branchable.com/polls/2013/), similar to the git user
+surveys. I will be adding some less general polls later (suggestions for

+git, or indeed finish printing out a debug log message about the event.
+This looks like it could be a problem with the threaded ghc runtime on
+Windows, or something like that.
+
+Main work today was improving the git repository repair to handle corrupt
+index files. The assistant can now start up, detect that the index file is
+corrupt, and regenerate it all automatically.

+Fixed two difficult bugs with direct mode. One happened (sometimes) when a
+file was deleted and replaced with a directory by the same name and then
+those changes were merged into a direct mode repository.
+
+The other problem was that direct mode did not prevent writes to
+.git/annex/objects the way that indirect mode does, so when a file in the
+repository was not currently present, writing to the dangling symlink would
+follow it and write into the object directory.
+
+Hmm, I was going to say that it's a pity that direct mode still has so many
+bugs being found and fixed, but the last real bug fix to direct mode was
+made last May! Instead, I probably have to thank Tim for being a very
+thorough tester.

+Finished switching the test suite to use the tasty framework, and prepared

+Still working on the git repair code. Improved the test suite, which found
+some more bugs, and so I've been running tests all day and occasionally
+going and fixing a bug in the repair code. The hardest part of repairing a
+git repo has turned out to be reliably determining which objects in it are
+broken. Bugs in git don't help (but the git devs are going to fix the one I
+reported).
+
+But the interesting new thing today is that I added some upgrade alert code
+to the webapp. Ideally everyone would get git-annex and other software as
+part of an OS distribution, which would include its own upgrade system -- 
+But the  [survey](http://git-annex-survey.branchable.com/polls/2013/how_installed/)
+tells me that a quarter of installs are from the prebuilt binaries I
+distribute.
+
+So, those builds are going to be built with knowledge of an upgrade url,
+and will periodically download a small info file (over https) to see if a
+newer version is available, and show an alert.
+
+I think all that's working, though I have not yet put the info files in
+place and tested it. The actual upgrade process will be a manual
+download and reinstall, to start with, and then perhaps I'll automate it
+further, depending on how hard that is on the different platforms.

+The difference picking the right type can make! Last night, I realized that
+the where I had a `distributionSha256sum :: String`, I should instead use
+`distributionKey :: Key`. This means that when git-annex is eventually
+downloading an upgrade, it can treat it as just another Key being
+downloaded from the web. So the webapp will show that transfer along with
+all the rest, and I can leverage tons of code for a new purpose. For
+example, it can simply fsck the key once it's downloaded to verify its
+checksum.
+
+Also, built a DistriutionUpdate program, which I'll run to generate the
+info files for a new version. And since I keep git-annex releases in a
+git-annex repo, this too leverages a lot of git-annex modules, and ended up
+being just 60 easy lines of code. The upgrade notification code is tested
+and working now.
+
+And, I made the assistant detect when the git-annex program binary is
+replaced or modified. Used my existing DirWatcher code for that. The plan
+is to restart the assistant on upgrade, although I need to add some sanity
+checks (eg, reuse the lsof code) first. And yes, this will work even for
+`apt-get upgrade`!

+Completely finished up with making the assistant detect when git-annex's

+It's a bit tricky because during an upgrade there can be two assistant

+disable the watcher of the old one first. Luckily, git-annex has long
+supported running multiple concurrent git-annex processes in the same
+repository.
+
+The surprisingly annoying part turned out to be how to make the webapp
+redirect the browser to the new url when it's upgraded. Particularly needed
+when automatic upgrades are enabled, since the user will not then be taking
+any action in the webapp that could result in a redirect. My solution to this
+feels like overkill; the webapp does ajax long polling until it gets an
+url, and then redirects to it. Had to write javascript code and ugh.
+
+But, that turned out to also be useful when manually restarting the webapp
+(removed some horrible old code that ran a shell script to do it before),
+and also when shutting the webapp down.

+Hey,

+You don't have to implement any whacky DMG replacement logic for OSX upgrades. No sane user will be using the application from the DMG.

+I don't think you should bother trying to support upgrades when people are running from a dmg. A DMG is just a disk image, and a format commonly used to distribute software. Running software from a DMG is not something anyone does beyond a quick first test of an application. A more reasonable thing to do, which many applications do now, is to offer to move the application from the DMG to /Applications if you detect someone is running it from a DMG.

-All git commands that do not change files in the work tee (and do not stage files from the work tree), are safe.

+Hi!
+
+One of my annex repository has a very strange behavior. Every `git annex` command is very slow.
+
+I'm using MacOSX Mavericks, and this repository is a network drive, mounted with Samba. It's using direct mode, and the filesystem is crippled. I use *annex* for storing huge files, for example movies. I moved some files in this directory, and used `git annex add`. It was long (as checksum was performed) and I thought that everything was OK. I tried `git log -p`, it was OK too:

+    \ No newline at end of file
+
+However it was not. I tried to launch `git annex sync another_repo` (with *another_repo* indirect and on a local disk) and it took ages. Even `git annex list` takes ages, **on every repository linked to this one**. With `ps -A`, I found out that the issue was created by `git --git-dir=/Volumes/SAMBA_REMOTE/.git --work-tree=/Volumes/SAMBA_REMOTE -c core.bare=false checkout -q -B annex/direct/master`.

+Hmm. Seems to me that `git commit` is trying to download the whole big file from the SMB share. Perhaps just to compare it with the symlink it expects to be there?
+
+When I try this, in a large direct mode repository with some video from *my* family, `git commit` does not open the file (verified with strace), let alone read it, and so finishes in well under 1 second. 
+
+Aha, I was able to reproduce `git commit` doing that with a repo on a FAT filesystem. git opens the file, and mmaps it, and I guess it proceeds to try to diff it against the symlink standin file it expected to be there.
+
+This is particularly unfortunate, since `git commit` is only, I think, doing this so that it can print out a \"Changes not staged for commit\" message. Which git-annex sync throws away. There seems to be no git commit option that disables this behavior.
+
+I think that this calls for making `git annex sync` not use `git commit` any longer, and instead manually build the commit using `git-write-tree` and `git-commit-tree`. Since I don't know if I will get to this before the thanksgiving holiday, I am creating a bug: [[bugs/direct_mode_sync_should_avoid_git_commit]]

+If you run git-annex with --debug, it will print out every command it is running. This is useful because A) I can see the commands in context and B) it includes timestamps, which is a little bit more informative than \"it took ages\". (Which can mean anything.)
+
+Anyway, I figured out the problem. Upgrade from v4 to v5 does what should be a one-time git checkout, but it seems that the auto upgrade code neglected to update annex.version, so it started doing it on every command run in a v4 repo. Fixed in git. You can work around the bug by running \"git config annex.version 5\".

+The problem you reported *is* solved. You were not talking about syncing before.
+
+If your setup is such that `git commit` takes a long time to run, then `git annex sync` is also necessarily going to take a long time to run.

+I think the most likely reason for git commit to be slow on your setup is that it probably rewrites .git/index. If you have a lot of files in your repository, the index file will be large and rewriting the index file will involve re-transferring it all over the network to the SMB share. 
+
+It's also possible that git commit scans the whole work tree, although I don't think it should -- it's not been told to with -a.
+
+You may be able to find what's taking a long time by
+
+    strace git --git-dir=/Volumes/Video/Videos/.git --work-tree=/Volumes/Video/Videos -c core.bare=false commit -m \"git-annex automatic sync\"

+If you kept your git repository on your local disk, and used a [[directory special remote|special_remotes/directory]] on the SMB share, you could then `git annex copy --to smbshare` and `git annex get --from smbshare` as desired, which would probably be much more efficient.

+Hi!
+
+What is the best way to add again the content of file in an direct and crippled annex repository? I'm using such a repository on a SMB drive, with no symbolic links, that's why the repository is in direct mode.
+
+For example:
+
+`/disk/annex-rep/a.bin` contains the text `../.git/annex/objects/W3/M8/SHA256E-s4701522386--e486cce01b1870cee394a376a3acc64a608e84e38b85e6c21c29721cf14328e6.bin/SHA256E-s4701522386--e486cce01b1870cee394a376a3acc64a608e84e38b85e6c21c29721cf14328e6.bin`
+
+and I've got the real content in another directory, outside annex: /disk/a.bin (contains the binary data)
+
+I imagined this process:
+* replace `/disk/annex-rep/a.bin` with `/disk/a.bin``
+* update `git-annex:122/4b8/SHA256E-s4701522386--e486cce01b1870cee394a376a3acc64a608e84e38b85e6c21c29721cf14328e6.bin.log` by adding this repository uuid
+
+I tried `git annex reinject` but it didn't work.
+
+Is there another way?

+There's a bug report asking that reinject work in direct mode. I just have not gotten around to it.
+
+Another way to do it would be to make a temp directory in your annex repository, move or copy the file to there, and `git annex add`. As long as you're not using the WORM backend, the checksum will be used, and so it'll see it's added the content of the file, and make the a.bin file have that content too.
+

+I currently use duply/duplicity to back up my networked computers to my home server. I have two external HDDs and, every week or so, I bring one of these home and copy the backup files to the hard drive (I leave them on the server to easily restore files and because I have a large hard drive in that). I use some hand-written scripts to keep a copy these backup files in the cloud (Ubuntu One) until they have been copied to both hard drives, ensuring that there are always two copies of the files somewhere offsite. Out of paranoia, I also have some "standalone backups" that are just huge encrypted archives of important folders (say, my entire Photos directory) as at a certain date - in case for some reason duplicity ever stops working or I need to roll something back to a version years earlier. I am less worried about these standalone backups and manually keep one copy of each somewhere.
+
+It sounds like Git-Annex could automate things quite nicely (and give me some neat extras, like knowing where they were). This is how I understand I should do it, but please let me know if it is the right approach or if you have any suggestions:
+
+1. Create a folder on my server called "annex" and make a Git-Annex "large backup" repository in there.
+2. Create a folder within that called "archive" and put a "backup" folder within that. I understand that having the backups within an archive folder will mean that they aren't automatically copied to my desktop machines etc. 
+3. Within that "backup" folder, create two folders, one called "duplicity" and one called "standalone". Put the backups in the respective folders.
+4. Set up gcrypt Git-Annex repositories on my two external HDDs as "small backups". This seems to just start copying files across. That surprised me, as the files are in the archive folder and I thought the default was numcopies=1. Is there some autosync option that I need to turn off? Ideally, I would like it to encrypt/decrypt primarily with my server GPG key (which I'm not worried about copying around my computers), but also encrypt to my personal GPG key (where I'd only put my public key on the server, but I know I will not lose the secret key for that). Am I right that to do that I would need to set the repos up manually with:
+
+    git init --bare /mnt/externalHDD1
+
+    git annex initremote externalHDD1 type=gcrypt gitrepo=/mnt/externalHDD1 keyid=$serverkey keyid=$personalkey
+
+    git annex sync externalHDD1
+
+    Or should the gitrepo be the location of my main Git-Annex repository? How do I make it sync up with my other repos?
+
+5. I understand that I would then need to set numcopies=3 in a .gitattributes file in the "archive/backup/duplicity" directory and, say, a numcopies=2 in the "archive/backup/standalone".
+6. I could then add a cloud repository as a "transfer" repository and Git-Annex should only keep files on that that are not already in the right number of places (similar to what my scripts are doing now).
+7. I have recently upgraded my hard drive, so I have my old 1TB internal hard drive that I will be putting in a cupboard somewhere. I was thinking that I could make this an archive drive for things like one copy of my duplicity/standalone backups. I wouldn't want it to be the only copy of anything. If I just set it as an archive drive, would this work?
+8. Are there more clever ways of doing this? I consider my external HDDs and the cloud repo as "offsite" repositories and ideally there would always be one copy of my backups offsite (in addition to at least three overall). There would also ideally be one of each of my files "live" (in most cases my server) that could instantly push files into a cloud repo and then to wherever I am. Is there any ability to put repositories in groups and write rules like that?
+
+Any thoughts greatly appreciated!

+This all sounds reasonable to me.
+
+gitrepo= is the location of the repository you are setting up with gcrypt, not your existing git-annex repository.
+
+numcopies configures the lower bound of the number of copies, not the upper bound. There's no \"small backup\" type, you must mean either small archive, or incremental backup. Either type of repository is going to want to have files that have not previously been archived, or backed up.
+
+You might eventually want to write your own [[preferred_content]] expressions to handle offsite repositories. I'd recommend starting simple and building up.

+
+Yes, I meant incremental backup. Thanks, understood. The page on preferred content ( http://git-annex.branchable.com/preferred_content/ ) made things a bit clearer. I didn't realise that the incremental backups etc want a copy even if it isn't necessary to satisfy numcopies. Does that mean that once it is on one backup drive, it will not be sent to the other unless I increase numcopies?

+The webapp can use remotes that you have configured at the command line just as well as it can use remotes you configure using the webapp.

+Each file only gets backed up to one incremental backup repository. If you have a full backup repository it will (try to) get another copy of every single file.

+Hi,
+
+Since the I updated to `2013-10-24` `git annex` has corrupted itself twice on my setup.  I'm not claiming causality here and thus I haven't filled it as a bug (probably the mistake is mine).
+
+I use three laptops and one remote ssh server.  The motherboard on laptop *T* seems to have broken and I haven't fixed it yet.  I have disabled sync to *T*  on the webapp dashboard.  
+
+First, one computer, called *W*, broke on Friday.  I got the dreaded [serious problem](http://git-annex.branchable.com/devblog/day_41__onward/) screen. `git fsck` reported lots of missing blobs and tree problem, though my data seemed OK.  I git cloned the repo from computer *X*.  Now, last night both X and W reported the same problem (log below).  *W*  recovered itself somehow, but *X*  is now in a cycle of re-adding all files in the repo and the posting the below error that has to do with computer *T* (IP ending with 107).  
+
+I would appreciate hints on why this suddenly started happen.  Computer T has been out of sync for almost 14 days (since the 24th of October I think).

+I tried following those instructions but I don't think I had a good repository, git annex repair reported everything was ok but git fsck said a lot of trees where missing and it stopped updating.
+I noticed I was running different git version (git version 1.7.9.5 on the server and git version 1.8.4.2 on one of the clients), so maybe that was part of the reason.
+

+I am using git-annex assistant for a few months now and still don't think I have it all setup correctly. My setup is:
+
+* Laptop Computer with low storage. Content creator, assistant: file source
+* Desktop Computer with medium storage capacity. Consumer, assistant: manual Mode
+* 2TB USB HD (EXT4) Backup, assistant: full backup
+* 2.5" portable 500GB drive NTFS formatted. transfer to backup: assistant: tried transfer and partial backup
+* Root Server on the web, not yet in the mix. Planned: Index only / content creator
+
+My primary goal is getting the stuff from the Laptop to the 2TB USB drive, syncing the annex with the desktop so I can get files on the desktop from the backup.
+What works:
+
+* Checking stuff into the annex on the Laptop
+* When the 2TB drive is connected to the Laptop, stuff is automatically moved there too
+* Bare Repo on the 2.5" configured as partial backup automatically backups the data
+
+What doesn't work:
+
+* Connecting the 2.5" bare repo to the Desktop to move stuff to the backup drive automatically
+* Having a human readable folder Structure on the 2.5" NTFS drive. I'd be ok to have a bare repo plus a special remote on the drive, but I don't know how to configure it
+* How do I drop stuff from the bare repo on the 2.5" drive? I think a partial backup should drop content that is in a full backup, but it doesn't
+
+Thanks for reading this long post. If anyone has any tips on how to configure the assistant, thats much appreciated.

+An incremental backup is supposed to drop content once it reaches a full backup. But, the assistant can only do that if it's able to verify that the full backup drive (or some other repository it can access) has a file, at the same time it's dropping it from the incremental backup drive. If you don't have both the incremental and full backup drives plugged in at the same time, you could consider making git-annex [[trust]] the full backup drive, which would avoid this explicit check.
+
+It sounds like you want a non-bare git repository on the 2.5\" drive. The assistant does not currently support setting that up, but you can do it by just using `git clone` as shown in the [[walkthrough]].
+
+I'm not clear on what doesn't work when you connect the 2.5\" drive to your desktop.

+What is the safest way to cancel a `git annex add` before the first commit?
+
+Say I first added a directory with a lot of small files to the annex and then (while watching the endless list of checksum operations) decide I should actually put them in a tar file and annex that instead.
+
+The problem seems to be that `git annex add` immediately replaces the files with symlinks instead of waiting for a commit, so I can't just `git reset largedir/; tar cvfz largedir.tgz largedir/; git annex add largedir.tgz`.

+The [[special remotes]] available all do great things and enable a ton of different services to be integrated.
+
+Strikingly, the one service I can't satisfactorily integrate with git-annex is a remote folder on a eg NAS (think: computer without git-annex installed) that I want to look like the original annex. As in, when I do a 'tree annexdir' it'd look the same on both locations (except, on the remote there would not be any symlinks, it'd be like it was in directmode, and there would not be a .git subdir).
+
+## Why? Use Case?
+
+I have a Synology NAS that I share access with with my wife. I want her to be able to access the files (photos/videos/music) in a sane manner (ie: not traversing sub-sub-sub 'randomly' named directories) but I also want to be able to manage them with git-annex on my machine (to gain the standard git-annex benefits, specifically the bob the archivist use case). The NAS has the ability to use ssh+rsync, so I'll assume those two tools can be used.
+
+This special remote could be thought of as the 'least common denominator of special remotes'; almost any server with ssh+rsync could be a remote, no matter if you have install privs or if the architecture (eg: ARM) is supported by git-annex.
+
+## Issues?
+
+First and foremost, this can't be (really really shouldn't be) a trusted remote; my wife could accidentally delete all files on the NAS while I am away. So my local git-annex shouldn't assume the NAS counts towards numcopies (unless I'm a real masochist).
+
+Secondly, what to do when files change/are added/removed on the special remote? Probably the same thing that the assistant does with everything. The only thing special is that new/modified files will need to be copied locally from this special remote before being added to the annex (to get hash and such).

+Hmm well, it's true that deleting a repository does not clean out any git remotes that other repositories might have configured using it, and the uuid of the old remote is cached in there.

+
+Perhaps the user you're running git-annex as cannot write to `/media/SoderUSB` ? The webapp avoids listing places you can't write, since it would fail to make a repository there.

+Hi!
+
+Just tried various android ssh servers which do work, but have no access to the command line tools shipped with git annex.
+
+From what I gather from the planning docs, sshd was stripped from the android tools to save space. If this were the case, it (naively) seems to me it would have to be simple to re-enable.
+
+Rationale: It would make it super convenient to use command line git annex on my phone alongside the assistant, through letting me type on my desktop. Not to mention that the command line tools shipped with git annex are by far the best around for android work.

+sshd was removed from the bundle because it's not needed for git-annex to be used on Android, and it would be very complicated to get it to work. (And would require rooting the device at least for port 22 and probably also since sshd needs to run as root generally.)
+
+If there are android ssh servers that let you choose which user to log in as, you could log in as the app_NN user corresponding to the git-annex android app, and have all the tools available, once you ran runshell. I belive there's also an equivilant to su on android that lets you change to an app_NN user, although you probably already need root.
+
+I think it's more usual to use adb in these situations.

+git-annex keeps track of the repository group on a per repository basis. That is, if the repository on Server-A is a full backup, both Client-A and Client-B will consider it to be one, and use it appropriately. You can't have just Client-A think it's a full backup; this setting will be automatically synced to Client-B.

+You can set it up that way, but the often confusing behavior (including not being able to umount a drive that has the git-annex assistant deamon running in it!) is why the webapp attempt to steer users toward making bare reposotories on USB drives.
+
+If you click on \"Add another repository\" -> \"Removable drive\", you get a bare repository.
+
+If you click on upper-right menu -> \"Add another local repository\" and enter a path, and tell it to combine the repositories, you get a synced non-bare repository, and potentially problems unmounting the drive since you now have 2 assistant daemons running.

+I don't know if this is an "unusual setup" or something that should be supported, but it seems like a reasonable use case to me, so here goes:
+
+I have three systems: a desktop, a laptop, and a little netbook.  I have one main annex that is currently synced between the desktop and the laptop at ~/annex on both, and to a secondary, Full Backup repo on the desktop, under /mnt.
+
+I have some music on my laptop, and I like to sync ~/Music between the laptop and the netbook.  So I thought I'd make a new git-annex repo at ~/Music on both and sync them.  I want this to be kept separate from ~/annex.
+
+I also thought it would be good to backup the music, so I thought I'd connect laptop:~/Music to the Full Backup repo at desktop:/mnt.  So I paired the repo at laptop:~/Music to the repo at desktop:/mnt.
+
+So I had set up these repos:
+
+* desktop:
+  * /mnt  (Full Backup)
+  * ~/annex  (Client)
+* laptop:
+  * ~/annex  (Client)
+  * ~/Music  (Client)
+* netbook:
+  * ~/Music  (Client)
+
+As I feared--but I wasn't sure, since I'm new to git-annex--since the desktop:/mnt repo was connected to laptop:~/Music, and desktop:~/mnt was also connected to desktop:~/annex,  this caused everything in laptop:~/Music to be synced to desktop:~/annex, because they were part of the same "set" of repos; they were all in the same .git/config files.
+
+So now I have a few problems:
+
+1.  How do I get all these music files out of my ~/annex repos?  I tried removing the remote repos from ~/annex/.git/config and then running 'git-annex unused', but that didn't result in it thinking all the music files were unused.  Do I have to delete them all manually?  (There are a *lot* of directories from ~/Music now in ~/annex).
+
+2.  It seems that desktop:~/annex/.git is...now over 600 MB, even though few of the actual music files have synced over.  Is it possible to clean out ~/annex/.git and restore it to the pre-mess state without starting from scratch?
+
+3.  Is it possible--or reasonable--to use a single Full Backup repo for multiple independent client repos?  That is, is it possible to do that without the independent client repos "cross-pollinating"?  Or do I need to use separate Full Backup repos for each "set" of client repos?
+
+4.  I'm not sure if this is a separate problem, but I just want to make sure I understand the best way to handle things like this.  I wanted to disconnect desktop:~/annex from laptop:~/Music, but I thought that if I used the webapp to "Delete" the laptop:~/Music repo, it would actually start deleting the music files in laptop:~/Music, after moving them to desktop:~/annex.  Am I correct that that would have happened?  If so, "Deleting" a repo seems like a dangerous operation that should warn and prompt the user.  Maybe an "unlink repo" option needs to be available to simply disconnect two repos and leave their respective contents intact.
+
+I apologize if these are newbie problems.  Despite reading every dev blog entry--both before and after the switchover--I'm still new to actually using git-annex.  I'm not sure if it's supposed to work this way or if I'm using it wrong.
+
+If I am using it wrong...well, I can imagine other git-annex newbies doing similar things and ending up with similar messes, so maybe this needs to...be considered or something.  :)  Since I'm still experimenting with git-annex, I haven't put any "live" data in it, so I can blow away all the annexes and start over, but I would like to learn how to properly fix a situation like this in case I goof up in the future.
+
+Thanks for your help.

+1. Turn off the assistant, switch to indirect mode (`git annex indirect`), use `git log --stat` to find the commit(s) that added the music files, and `git revert` the commits, in reverse chronological order. Or delete the files manually.
+2. You have merged two git repositories. Without some serious git repository surgery (ie, resetting to an old version and deleting the reflog), the full history of both is going to remain stored in git going forward. However, a simple `git gc` might pack that down to a much smaller amount of disk space.
+3. Combining two repositories merges their git histories. You then have two clones of one repository containing the full contents and git history of both. Don't do that if that's not what you want. The webapp is always careful to tell you when an action will combine two repositories.
+4. Once you have combined two repositories, you have two synced repositories that contain the same data. Deleting one of them will just delete one copy of the data. It won't result in data loss, but neither will it untangle the two git trees that were previously combined.

+Hi,
+
+Some time ago I asked [[here|git_annex_copy_--fast_--to_blah_much_slower_than_--from_blah]]
+about possible improvements in git `copy --fast --to`, since it was painfully slow
+on moderately large repos.
+
+Now I found a way to make it much faster for my particular use case, by
+accessing some annex internals. And I realized that maybe commands like `git
+annex find --in=repo` do not batch queries to the location log. This is based on
+the following timings, on a new repo (only a few commits) and about 30k files.
+
+    > time git annex find --in=skynet > /dev/null
+
+    real	0m55.838s
+    user	0m30.000s
+    sys	0m1.583s
+
+
+    > time git ls-tree -r git-annex | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | cut -f 1 | git cat-file --batch > /dev/null
+
+    real	0m0.334s
+    user	0m0.517s
+    sys	0m0.030s
+
+Those numbers are on linux (with an already warm file cache) and an ext4 filesystem on a SSD.
+
+The second command above is feeding a list of objects to a single `git cat-file`
+process that cats them all to stdout, preceeding every file dump by the object
+being cat-ed. It is a trivial matter to parse this output and use it for
+whatever annex needs.
+
+Above I wrote a `git ls-tree` on the git-annex branch for simplicity, but we could
+just as well do a `ls-tree | ... | git cat-file` on HEAD to get the keys for the
+annexed files matching some path and then feed those keys to a cat-file on
+the git-annex branch. And this still would be an order of magnitude faster than
+what currently annex seems to do.
+
+I'm assuming the bottleneck is in that annex does not batch the `cat-file`, as the rest of logic needed for a find will be fast. Is that right? 
+
+Now, if the queries to the location log for `copy --to` and `find` could be batched this way, the
+performance of several useful things to do, like checking how many annexed files
+we are missing, would be bastly improved. Hell, I could even put that number on
+the command line prompt!
+
+I'm not yet very fluent in Haskell, but I'm willing to help if this is something that makes sense and can be done.

+git-annex uses cat-file --batch, yes. You can verify this with --debug. Or you can read Annex/CatFile.hs and Git/CatFile.hs

+Ok, then I don't understand where annex spends its time. git annex takes 55
+seconds! vs less than a second for a batched query on all the keys in the
+location log. Checking that branches are in sync, or traversing the working dir
+shouldn't amount the extra 54 seconds! At least not on a recently synced repo
+with up to date index and clean working dir.
+
+> git-annex has to ensure that the git-annex branch is up-to-date and that any info synced into the repository is merged into it. This can require several calls to git log
+
+Ok, I understand that. Checking that should be typically fast though, isn't it? On a repo that has just been synced, it doesn't need to go very far on the log.
+
+> git-annex find also runs git ls-files --cached, which has to examine the state of the index and of files on disk, in order to only show files that are in the working tree
+
+I understand that too. For my particular use case, I know I do the `git copy` when the
+repo is in sync and the working dir has no uncommited changes. So I use HEAD to retrieve the keys for
+the files in the working tree. I do something like that:
+
+    time git ls-tree -r HEAD | grep -e '^120000' | cut -d ' ' -f 3 | cut -f 1 | git cat-file --batch > /dev/null
+
+    real	0m0.178s
+    user	0m0.277s
+    sys 	0m0.037s
+
+That plus some fast parsing of the output gets the list of keys for the files in HEAD in less than a second. Where do the 54 extra seconds hide, then?
+
+Mm... how does annex retrieve the keys for files in the working tree? Does it follow
+the actual symlinks on the filesystem? I can believe that following 30k symlinks may be slow (although not 55 second slow).
+
+Sorry for being so insistent on this... It is just that I do think the same can be done much faster, and such an improvement in performance would be very interesting, not only for me.

+Ok, thanks.
+
+I understand that annex is more sophisticated than what I'm proposing. I'm also
+not comparing apples to oranges, what I'm saying is this: All the
+logic and checking and git calls that I thought annex needs to do, take
+much much less time than those 55 seconds. So either I'm missing something big (about 98% of it in execution time), or
+annex is doing something very inefficient. That's all I'm saying, and I was
+hoping that you could clarify that, since you already know the code.
+
+Also I'm sorry for being so annoying. If annex were writen in C, I would either have understood those 55 seconds or sent you a patch making annex faster. Being in
+haskell means that it will take me considerably more time and effort. But if I manage to
+improve things and if it is ok with you I'll send you patches... eventually.

+I am trying to understand git-annex, and the walkthroughs on the page did help a lot. I *feel* that git-annex is the solution for my use case: having a large archive, several computers, NAS both at work and at home, being offline during commuting, …

+Everything seems to be clear for me when using the command line version. Using annex assistant looks promising, and it is easy to create repositories that match my usage. But now I see that these repositories are in direct mode by default; and I am not sure how this impacts my ability to work with large files. I do not want to end up with git (without annex) handling huge files.
+
+So - can somebody explain how direct mode affects this? Can I switch to indirect mode with the assistant? Am I asking the wrong questions?

+I just tried a git annex drop on a file in a direct mode repository, and that just did not change anything at all, as far as I can see. Actually I don't know what to expect, but doesn't that mean that I should have to switch to indirect mode in order to be able to drop large files to save space? 
+
+Funny is that git annex drop did not complain at all but just reported \"ok\" after quite a while. And when I tried to drop a file that was not available in any other repository, it failed (which is expected behavior). So what is it what was \"ok\"?

+Drop in direct mode does the same thing as in indirect mode.
+
+If you are using git-annex on a crippled filesystem without symlinks, git-annex cannot represent a file whose content has been dropped using a broken symlink, so it instead represents it with a nearly empty file.

+The problem seems to be on your desktop computer. /home/max/.ssh/git-annex-shell is a script that is created if you install git-annex from the standalone tarball (assuming you're using linux?). It seems that your desktop has that script, but you must have deleted that instalation of git-annex (perhaps you switched to installing it some other way), so the script doesn't work. As long as you have git-annex-shell in your PATH somehow, you can just remove /home/max/.ssh/git-annex-shell

+Just playing with git-annex which looks great so far, but I noticed that when you make use off "git annex assistant" to watch and sync your repo with the remote it doesn't drop files anymore. They just stay in the repo.
+
+What I have is the following:
+
+- 2 repo's in direct mode
+- they both have each other as remote
+- they're synced and stay synced with the assistant daemon running (in both repo's started "git annex assistant")
+- is see changes coming and precessed, so so far so good.
+
+Then I drop in one repo a path for instance like : git annex drop iso
+Afterwards I still see the files (and contents) in that repo. New files in the iso path are still synced to the other and vise versa.
+
+Then I kill the assistant on both side's and drop the path again. This time it's dropped as expected and the contents of the file in the iso path are gone.
+Starting the assistant again brings is back though :(
+
+I really liked the assistant feature and possibility of dropping the files from one repo, but they don't seem to work together.
+
+Is this a bur or expected behaviour? I think the latter since the assistant also does the git annex get commands so sounds logical?

+Hello,
+
+I am looking for a solution to replicate lots of files between 2 servers (with dedicated IP address) over WAN. (I already looked at GlusterFS, DRBD, Bittorent-Sync and ownCloud, but comments are welcome). Now I am evaluating git-annex but it is (kind of) hard to get the concepts as I am not familiar with git.
+
+I could already connect the servers by following the steps of "remote sharing walkthrough" but I feel that using a 3rd special node (as "transfer repository" / rsync or ssh) is an overhead and should not be needed. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make the 2 servers do a sync without a special node. 
+
+Could you please give me a hint how to do it? Or even better, some detailed steps. :)
+
+Thanks,
+
+David

+Great. Understood. :) Thanks.
+
+Although there is one more thing that I don't really understand. Why do we need 2 repositories. In my mind (without knowing git) I thout it would work with one repository, where both server1 and server2 can upload/download files and they got synced through this. 
+
+    server1 <-> repository (somewhere, eother server1 or server2) <-> server2
+
+Now they use different repositories and I don't get why. Also I don't get how conflict-handling can be done if there are 2 repositories for the 2 transfer-ways.

+Sorry to bother you with this.

+Hello,

+Thanks for your help and explanation. Now I had some time to test git-annex and I had a sad experience. I tried to sync the files from server1 to server2 (as described before). We are talking about 87000 small files (these are maildir folders and each file is an e-mail) with the total size of 19 Gbytes.

+
+According to the Scalability page (http://git-annex.branchable.com/scalability/) the \"memory usage should be constant\" and I am sure I didn't run \"git-annex unused\".

+Is this memory consumption normal or it might be a bug? What shall we do?

+The [[assistant/remote sharing walkthrough]] assumes that the computers are not servers, so they might not be turned on at the same time, and cannot directly contect each other.
+
+With 2 servers, it's much simpler. Just add a git remote on each pointing at the git repository on the other server, and run the git-annex assistant on both to keep them in sync.
+
+You can add the git remote with `git remote add otherserver ssh://otherserver/path/to/repo`, or you can use the webapp to do it (Add another repository -> Remote server)
+
+(If your WAN puts the servers on the same virtual subnet, ie a VPN, you can also probably use local pairing over the WAN to get to the same setup by a different route.)

+Hey,

+Yes, you were right. The ssh user did not have privileges to read/write the folder. Now I have corrected this issue and things started sync-ing.

+But I am afraid, this is not exactly the thing I wanted to achieve. My goal was to sync from folder to folder ... and not from folder to repository both ways.

+Yes, meanwhile files started appearing. :) Maybe I just did not wait enough time.
+
+So, I have just one more question. Shall I set the remote ssh repositories to client or transfer? I read the docs and understand the difference, but in my case I simply cannot decide.

+In your situation, you do not have or need a repository whose only job is to transfer files between two other client repositories. So the right choice for your repositories is client -- or something else possibly -- but almost certainly not transfer.

+Okay. One last question. Could you please help me understand how this sync works now?

+So for example if I save a file on server1, it gets pushed to server2's repository. But how is it translated back to a normal file from the repository?

+I'm trying to follow the steps of the "walkthrough" but I'm experiencing the following issue: when

+Basically I have two repositories, "/tmp/a/annex" and "/tmp/b/annex", the second cloned from
+the first. All the other steps are the same as in the walkthrough.

+In short: is it safe to rsync .git/annex/objects/ to other clones?
+
+I'm in the process of migrating a lot of my files to a new backend.  Most them
+still use the old non-file-size-tracking SHA1 backend from when WORM was the
+default.  I have multiple clones that each use about 460 GB of their 500 GB
+drives.
+
+I've noticed that git-annex creates hardlinks to migrated content in
+.git/annex/objects, so I'm able to migrate all content despite only having 40
+GB of free space.  Excellent.
+
+Now I'm planning to `rsync -a --hard-links .git/annex/objects/
+${CLONE}/.git/annex/objects/` to recreate the hardlinks and save space on the
+clones as well.  If I `fsck` afterwards, this should be fine, right?
+
+I've tried this with a test repository and it works but I'd like to be extra
+sure that I'm not missing something crucial.
+
+The alternatives that I'm aware of are:
+
+ * making space first: `git annex dropunused "1-20000"` and `git annex get .`
+ * running `git annex migrate` in each clone.
+
+I expect rsync to be safer and faster than these alternatives.

+I backup/sync my music using annex. I used to have one repo with 3 clones, one full copy on my vps, one full copy and one partial copy on my laptops. I decided to move all data to s3. Declared my vps repo dead, purged history (I do not care about history for this particular repo) pushed the git repo to a different computer (bare repo no data) and data to s3 (gpg encrypted). I've just finished uploading all files (around 200gb) couple files failed during the initial upload so I did a `git annex copy --quiet --to mys3 --fast` this command used to take 15 20 secs on my laptop when sending data to vps using ssh but now it took 2 hours to complete (pushing mem usage to 90%).
+
+I have one other repo (1.5gb in size 42k files using indirect mode, data gpg encrypted on s3) using the same setup except this repos content has always been on s3  i had the same behavior on this repo too. adding a file and running a copy to push content to s3 took couple hours even if I add a single 1kb file. I used to blame my hard drive, damn thing is slow but now I think this is related to s3. is there any workaround for this?

+No difference. Both take roughly the same time but I did time a couple of runs with both commands they usually take 3 to 5 minutes to complete. Maybe git did something behind the scenes like gc? But still slower than it used to be. My other repo (one with 42k files) still takes a 2 hours.

-# NAME
-
-git-recover-repository - Fix a broken git repository
-
-# SYNOPSIS
-
-git-recover-repository [--force]
-
-# DESCRIPTION
-
-This can fix a corrupt or broken git repository, which git fsck would
-only complain has problems.
-
-It does by deleting all corrupt objects, and retreiving all missing
-objects that it can from the remotes of the repository.
-
-If that is not sufficient to fully recover the repository, it can also
-reset branches back to commits before the corruption happened, delete
-branches that are no longer available due to the lost data, and remove any
-missing files from the index. It will only do this if run with the
-`--force` option, since that rewrites history and throws out missing data.
-Note that the `--force` option never touches tags, even if they are no
-longer usable due to missing data.
-
-After running this command, you will probably want to run `git fsck` to
-verify it fixed the repository. Note that fsck may still complain about
-objects referenced by the reflog, or the stash, if they were unable to be
-recovered. This command does not try to clean up either the reflog or the
-stash.
-
-Since this command unpacks all packs in the repository, you may want to
-run `git gc` afterwards.

+To select a set of pages, such as pages that are locked, pages
+whose commit emails you want subscribe to, or pages to combine into a
+blog, the wiki uses a PageSpec. This is an expression that matches
+a set of pages.
+
+The simplest PageSpec is a simple list of pages. For example, this matches
+any of the three listed pages:
+
+	foo or bar or baz
+
+More often you will want to match any pages that have a particular thing in
+their name. You can do this using a glob pattern. "`*`" stands for any part
+of a page name, and "`?`" for any single letter of a page name. So this
+matches all pages about music, and any [[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but does
+not match the SandBox itself:
+
+	*music* or SandBox/*
+
+You can also prefix an item with "`!`" to skip pages that match it. So to
+match all pages except for Discussion pages and the SandBox:
+
+	* and !SandBox and !*/Discussion
+
+Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
+
+* "`glob(someglob)`" - matches pages and other files that match the given glob.

+* "`page(glob)`" - like `glob()`, but only matches pages, not other files
+* "`link(page)`" - matches only pages that link to a given page (or glob)
+* "`tagged(tag)`" - matches pages that are tagged or link to the given tag (or

+* "`backlink(page)`" - matches only pages that a given page links to
+* "`creation_month(month)`" - matches only files created on the given month

+* "`creation_day(mday)`" - or day of the month
+* "`creation_year(year)`" - or year
+* "`created_after(page)`" - matches only files created after the given page
+  was created
+* "`created_before(page)`" - matches only files created before the given page
+  was created
+* "`internal(glob)`" - like `glob()`, but matches even internal-use 
+  pages that globs do not usually match.
+* "`title(glob)`", "`author(glob)`", "`authorurl(glob)`",
+  "`license(glob)`", "`copyright(glob)`", "`guid(glob)`" 
+  - match pages that have the given metadata, matching the specified glob.
+* "`user(username)`" - tests whether a modification is being made by a
+  user with the specified username. If openid is enabled, an openid can also
+  be put here. Glob patterns can be used in the username. For example, 
+  to match all openid users, use `user(*://*)`
+* "`admin()`" - tests whether a modification is being made by one of the
+  wiki admins.
+* "`ip(address)`" - tests whether a modification is being made from the
+  specified IP address. Glob patterns can be used in the address. For
+  example, `ip(127.0.0.*)`
+* "`comment(glob)`" - matches comments to a page matching the glob.
+* "`comment_pending(glob)`" - matches unmoderated, pending comments.
+* "`postcomment(glob)`" - matches only when comments are being 
+  posted to a page matching the specified glob
+
+For example, to match all pages in a blog that link to the page about music
+and were written in 2005:
+
+	blog/* and link(music) and creation_year(2005)
+
+Note the use of "and" in the above example, that means that only pages that
+match each of the three expressions match the whole. Use "and" when you
+want to combine expression like that; "or" when it's enough for a page to
+match one expression. Note that it doesn't make sense to say "index and
+SandBox", since no page can match both expressions.
+
+More complex expressions can also be created, by using parentheses for
+grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either
+of two tags, use:
+
+	blog/* and (tagged(foo) or tagged(bar))
+
+Note that page names in PageSpecs are matched against the absolute
+filenames of the pages in the wiki, so a pagespec "foo" used on page
+"a/b" will not match a page named "a/foo" or "a/b/foo". To match
+relative to the directory of the page containing the pagespec, you can
+use "./". For example, "./foo" on page "a/b" matches page "a/foo".
+
+To indicate the name of the page the PageSpec is used in, you can
+use a single dot. For example, `link(.)` matches all the pages
+linking to the page containing the PageSpec.

-Thanks Joey, I will try this direct mode tonight. I'm following git-annex development since your first days, but I just decided to give it a try so bear with me :)
-
-I also have a VPS and I did try yesterday night to add it as a cloud server to make android & linux sync. It also contained git-annex. When I add it from the PC, it appeared in Android but it was not possible to use it somehow. I had to add a new cloud server with exactly the same settings like th PC, which made things complicated to understand for me as to what happens on the server side when both computers try to setup a repository. (the sync didn't work neither)
-Maybe I hit a bug here so wanted to share with you.
-What I expected is that, 
-1) Add a VPS/ssh/git-annex cloud option from PC.
-2) It shall appear in the Android webapp using the XMPP control channel
-3) if the password or private key can't be synced over the XMPP due to security concern, then the Android webapp shall just ask for the password to enable it, nothing more.
-
-2nd thing, when I add this VPS/SSH/Git-annex from the PC, if I do not choose any encryption, it is marked as \"sync enabled\". IF I choose \"shared encryption\" instead, then sync gets disabled and there's nowhere any comment why the sync is disabled. So, by trial and error, I concluded that the sync is not supported in shared encryption remotes?
-
-3rd thing: The remote cloud can be configured for example as \"full backup\" or \"transfer host\". What is not clear is that if I configure it as a \"full backup\" host, then can Android and PC still use it as a \"transfer host\" to sync between themselves? What I would expect is that once I add this cloud vps as a \"full backup\" host, then everybody syncs with it and gets a copy from it if they can't communicate directly themselves. 
-Hope I did not confuse things much, thanks a lot even if you don't find time to write answers.

+@robohack, the ghc7.0 branch is not being maintained, and is so old I don't recommend it. To build it against current cabal you will probably need to version its dependency on network to an older version than 2.4.0.

+Also, git-annex has not depended on pcre for a long time. But you're building thoroughly old version so get to trip over every bug that's been reported for the past 2 years..

+Object files stored in `.git/annex/objects` are each put in their own directory.
+This allows the write bit to be removed from both the file, and its directory,
+which prevents accidentially deleting or changing the file contents.
+
+The reasoning for doing this follows:
+
+Normally with git, once you have committed a file, editing the file in the
+working tree cannot cause you to lose the committed version. This is an
+important property of git. Of course you can `rm -rf .git` and delete
+commits if you like (before you've pushed them). But you can't lose a
+committed version of the file because of something you do with the working
+tree version.
+
+It's easy for git to do this, because committing a file makes a copy of it.
+But git-annex does not make a local copy of a file added to it, because
+the file could be very large.
+
+So, it's important for git-annex to find another way to preserve the expected
+property that once committed, you cannot accidentially lose a file.
+The most important protection it makes is just to remove the write bit of
+the file. Thus preventing programs from modifying it.
+
+But, that does not prevent any program that might follow the symlink and
+delete the symlinked file. This might seem an unlikely thing for a program to
+do at first, but consider a command like:
+`tar cf foo.tar foo --remove-files --dereference`
+
+When I tested this, I didn't know if it would remove the file foo symlinked
+to or not! It turned out that my tar doesn't remove it. But it could
+have easily went the other way.
+
+Rather than needing to worry about every possible program that might
+decide to do something like this, git-annex removes the write bit from the
+directory containing the annexed object, as well as removing the write
+bit from the file. (The only bad consequence of this is that `rm -rf .git`
+doesn't work unless you first run `chmod -R +w .git`)
+
+----
+
+It's known that this lockdown mechanism is incomplete. The worst hole in
+it is that if you explicitly run `chmod +w` on an annexed file in the working
+tree, this follows the symlink and allows writing to the file. It would be
+better to make the files fully immutable. But most systems either don't
+support immutable attributes, or only let root make files immutable.

+   * Direct mode repositories now have core.bare=true set, to prevent

+     and so do the wrong thing in direct mode.
+   * annex.version is now set to 5 for direct mode repositories.
+     This upgrade is handled fully automatically, no need to run
+     git annex upgrade
+   * The "status" command has been renamed to "info", to allow
+     "git annex status" to be used in direct mode repositories, now that
+     "git status" won't work in them.
+   * The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by
+     git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs.
+   * watcher: Avoid loop when adding a file owned by someone else fails
+     in indirect mode because its permissions cannot be modified.
+   * webapp: Avoid encoding problems when displaying the daemon log file.
+   * webapp: Improve UI around remote that have no annex.uuid set,
+     either because setup of them is incomplete, or because the remote
+     git repository is not a git-annex repository.
+   * Include ssh-keygen in standalone bundle.
+   * Allow optionally configuring git-annex with -fEKG to enable awesome
+     remote monitoring interfaceat http://localhost:4242/
+   * Fix bug that caused bad information to be written to the git-annex branch
+     when running describe or other commands with a remote that has no uuid.
+   * Work around Android linker problem that had prevented git-annex from
+     running on Android 4.3 and 4.4.
+   * repair: Handle case where index file is corrupt, but all objects are ok.
+   * assistant: Notice on startup when the index file is corrupt, and
+     auto-repair.
+   * Fix direct mode merge bug when a direct mode file was deleted and replaced
+     with a directory. An ordering problem caused the directory to not get
+     created in this case.
+     Thanks to Tim for the test case.
+   * Direct mode .git/annex/objects directories are no longer left writable,
+     because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
+     which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
+     Thanks to Tim for the test case.
+   * fsck: Fix up .git/annex/object directory permissions.
+   * Switched to the tasty test framework.
+   * Android: Adjust default .gitignore to ignore .thumbnails at any location
+     in the tree, not just at its top.

+I have an annex that syncs my personal files on all my computers. It works great. Phones are different.
+
+For one, everything's a bit slower to sync, there's battery considerations, and I just don't need every last old file on my phone. Then there's some files I explicitly don't want on my phone in case it gets lost, like family pictures, passport scans, or private keys.
+
+But I still want photos, videos and voice recordings I make on my phone to be synced to my server. A transfer repo would work, but I want to keep them. Then there's my PDF book collection; that would certainly be nice to always have around in case I have half on hour on a bus. And my music collection ought to be around as well.
+
+So I came up with this solution, and I'm very happy with it.
+
+    include=Music/* or include=Books/* or present
+
+This will sync my music and book collections to my phone whenever I add something new on my computers, and it will sync and keep anything I add to the annex on my phone. Best of all worlds! Impressed how flexible preferred content is. More full-sync folders can be added like this: 
+
+    include=Music/* or include=Books/* or Notes/* or present
+
+To add them, I first had to figure out the uuid of my phone repo. So I added a new tab on android, and did
+
+    cd /sdcard/annex
+    git config annex.uuid
+
+Then I went to one of my computers, and did
+
+    git annex vicfg
+
+And changed the line
+
+    content [phone-uuid] = standard
+
+to
+
+    content [phone-uuid] = include=Music/* or include=Books/* or Notes/* or present
+
+And waited for it to sync.

+That's great, that's how I hoped people would be able to use preferred content settings.

+I'd suggest adding support for archive directories to this. So if you create a file on the phone and are done with it, you can move it to an archive directory, and it will then be dropped from the phone once it reaches an archive repository.

+Hi,
+
+I think the current behavior of the special remote is a bit annoying when one has several pgp keys. 
+
+Indeed, I've followed the encrypted backup drive example specifying the id of a dedicated key in the initremote step, so far so good. Doing that, I was prompted for my key phrase by the gnome keyring daemon, as expected. 
+
+The annoying part starts right at the git annex sync step. Indeed, when git-remote-gcrypt tries to decrypt the manifest from the encrypted remote, rather than trying only the key specified during the initremote step, it tries all my (secret) keys. This means that I get prompted for the key phrase of all those keys (minus the correct one which is already unlocked...). 
+
+In the future, this might possible to avoid by allowing gcrypt to fetch a preferred key from git config and to use with the --try-secret-key option available gnupg 2.1.x. But for 1.x or 2.0.x, the simpler option --default-key does not seem to alter the order in which keys are tried to decrypt the manifest. Also, it does not seem to be a problem of the gnome keyring daemon, but rather a gpg problem as when the daemon is replaced by the standard gpg-agent, the same problem occurs. 
+
+Meanwhile, is there any way to avoid this problem?

+I'm answering to myself :-). A possible solution to the annoying pass phrase asking with current gnupg is to use a specialized secret keyring. One first exports the secret key used for this repository in a specific keyring as follows:
+
+`gpg --export-secret-keys keyid | gpg --import --no-default-keyring --secret-keyring mygitannexsecret.gpg`
+
+This will create a keyring in $HOME/.gnupg with only the specific key.

+The way I would want to setup git-annex (assistant) is \"Wuala/Spideroak style\": two computers with a full checkout of the repository, changes automatically being synced between them, even if the two computers are never online simultaneously, and encryption should be done locally: the (special) remote should not be able to view file listings or content. 
+
+Do I understand it correctly that the gcrypt remote is the only way to make this happen? I tried to create such a setup via the webapp but failed. Adding the repository and remote (via \"Encrypt with GnuPG key\") on the first computer went OK*, but trying to enable that remote on the other computer fails: clicking enable asks me for the SSH password, but after that I just get redirected to a blank screen, with nothing to see in the logfile after the succesful call to ssh-keygen. No entry for the second computer is being added to authorized_keys on the remote.
+
+Perhaps this is because at this point the assistant is unable to actually parse the content of the encrypted repository? I tried importing the private key that was used while creating the repository on the other computer, but that made no difference.
+
+Thinking about this for a while, I believe gpg keys aren't actually particularly suited for this usecase. Even without the bug above, one would either have to awkwardly copy a private key to all hosts that are syncing to the repository; or, every time a new (or reinstalled) host wants to sync the repository, you would manually have to add the new keyid to the config and do the forced push + GCRYPT_FULL_REPACK, presumably having to reupload your entire history. Apart from this, having to backup a private key (outside of your git-annex based backups!) would be quite inconvenient.
+
+How would you feel about adding a new mode of operation where encryption is simply based on a passphrase? We could symetrically encrypt the repository with a keyfile that's stored in the repository itself, protecting the keyfile with a passphrase which - if stored at all - would be stored on the individual computers, outside of the repository.

+
+As Adam wrote, without a passphrase, this is the shared encryption method. With an encrypted key, this is more or less the hybrid (default) scheme. The thing is that you have to share a secret to have a encrypted remote. I don't use the webapp, so I don't know what's happening in your case, but this is how it should work with the command line tools. First Alice create the encrypted remote with her pgp key. As far as I understand, git annex creates (via gpg) a  key for a symmetric cypher which is stored in the repository, encrypted with Alice public key. If Alice wants to share the repository with Bob, she must either give a key pair (so the private key also, of course) to Bob or ask Bob for his public key. In the first case, Bob can clone the repository directly (upon reception of the key pair), while in the second case, Alice has to active Bob's public key (with `git annex enableremote myremote keyid+=bobsId`). In this case, again as far as I understand, the symmetric key is reencrypted for both Alice and Bob in the repo. 
+
+I understand that you tried the first case with the webapp and that it did not work. I had a similar problem documented in this [http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git-annex-shell:_gcryptsetup_permission_denied](bug). Maybe you could had some comments to this bug description? 
+
+> _*although it erroneously used \"E0D2F776E7F674E3\" as key-id while the actual id is E7F674E3; where did that other half come from?_
+
+This is the long id of your pgp key (16 characters as opposed to 8 for the short id).

+Thanks for the responses. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but the way I understood it, using the shared encryption scheme creates a conflict between \"changes being synced between them, even if the two computers are never online simultaneously\" and \"encryption should be done locally: the (special) remote should not be able to view file listings or content.\"
+
+- If I use shared encryption \"the webapp way\", only the file contents will be rsynced to the remote, not the repository itself. This means that different hosts are unable to sync unless they are online simultaneously, so that commit data can be sent directly between them via XMPP. In practice, this would mean my hosts are never synced (because I don't keep my home computer running when I leave for work, and vice versa)
+
+- If I use shared encryption and additionally put the repository itself on a remote, that remote would have the keys to fully decrypt the repository, that's not acceptable.
+
+Reading through the docs again, the hybrid scheme actually seems to be closer to what I want than the shared scheme, but it still has a major downside: the encryption only applies to the files itself, so in order to get \"offline sync\" there still has to be a 'remote' for the repository itself, which will contain all your metadata unencrypted. And also it would depend on the user being able to manually setup and backup a set of gpg keys instead of just memorizing a secure passphrase.

+I think you are (at least partially) right. Of course, the only way to sync completely computers that are not on together is to use either a usb drive or a third always on computer. (I've to confess I did not understand first when I read git annex docs, shame on me ;-) If you don't want to trust completely this computer (I don't, for instance), you must :
+
+* use an encrypted git repository on this computer;
+
+* and use either hybrid or pubkey encryption. 
+
+But contrarily to what you seem to imply (I hope I understand you correctly), if you do that, the third computer can still figure out a few things (usage patterns, such as where connections come from), but that's all. You've got full sync and everything is encrypted, both the git part and the files handled by the annex. This applied only to encrypted git special remotes as other remotes do not store the git part.

+I have thought about doing this, especially if there is ever a security hole in git-annex.
+
+All it needs is a file containing the version number to be written along-side the git-annex build, and git-annex knowing if it was built as a standalone build, and should check that.
+
+As for actually performing the upgrade:
+
+* Easy on Linux
+* Not sure on OSX.. Is it possible to use hdiutil attach to replace a dmg while a program contained in it is currently running?

+The instructions for building git-annex from source for Android should work on x86. The ghc-android build would need to be tweaked to build a cross compiler targeting that architecture. This can be done by editing settings near the top of ghc-android's `build.sh`.

 Since most file transfers, particularly to/from encrypted special remotes involve git-annex streaming through the contents of the file anyway, it should be possible to add a verification of the checksum nearly for free.

It would certainly be possible to at least make the upload abort and fail if a bad checksum was detected.
 
 Doing the same for downloads is less useful, because the data is there locally to be fscked. The real advantage would be doing the check for uploads, to ensure that hard-to-detect corrupted files don't reach special remotes.

+A few things hardcode ".git", including Assistant.Threads.Watcher.ignored
+and `Seek.withPathContents`, and parts of `Git.Construct`.
+
+---
+
+Transition: git-annex should detect when it's in a direct mode repository
+with a .git directory and no .git-annex directory, and transparently
+do the move to transition to the new scheme. (And remember that `git annex
+indirect` needs to move it back.)
+
+# alternative approach: move index
+
+Rather than moving .git, maybe move .git/index?
+
+This would cause git to think that all files in the tree were deleted.
+So git commit -a would make a commit that removes them from git history.
+But, the files in the work tree are not touched by this.
+
+Also, git checkout, git merge, and other things that manipulate the work
+tree refuse to do anything if they'd change a file that they think is
+untracked.
+
+Hmm, this does't solve the user accidentially running git add on an annexed
+file; the whole file still gets added.
+
+# alternative approach: fake bare repo
+
+Set core.bare to true.  This prevents all work tree operations, 
+so prevents any foot shooting. It still lets the user run commands like
+git log, even on files in the tree, and git fetch, and push, and git
+config, etc.
+
+Even better, it integrates with other tools, like `mr`, so they know
+it's a git repo.
+
+This seems really promising. But of course, git-annex has its own set of
+behaviors in a bare repo, so will need to recognise that this repo is not
+really bare, and avoid them.
+
+> [[done]]!!  --[[Joey]]
+
+(Git may also have some bare repo behaviors that are unwanted. One example
+is that git allows pushes to the current branch in a bare repo, 
+even when `receive.denyCurrentBranch` is set.)
+

 ## Upgrade events, so far
 
+### v4 -> v5 (git-annex version 5.x)
+
+v5 is only used for [[direct_mode]]. The upgrade from v4 to v5 is handled
+automatically.
+
+This upgrade involves changing direct mode repositories to operate with
+core.bare=true.
+
 ### v3 -> v4 (git-annex version 4.x)
 
-v4 is only used for [[direct_mode]], and no upgrade needs to be done from
-existing v3 repositories, they will continue to work.
+v4 was only used for [[direct_mode]], to ensure that a version of git-annex
+that understands direct mode was used with a direct mode repository. 
 
 ### v2 -> v3 (git-annex version 3.x)

+Date: Tue, 26 Nov 2013 19:18:28 +0000
+Subject: [PATCH] hack gnutls to statically link
 
-This requires libgnutls.a (and no .so) be installed in the ugly hardcoded
-lib dir. When built this way, the haskell gnutls library will link the
-library into executables with no further options.
-
-Also includes dependencies of libgnutls (needed since it's a static
-library).
+This uses a hardcoded path to the library, which includes the
+arm-linux-androideabi-4.8 part. Will need to be changed when that changes..
