git-annex 3.20120116 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix data loss bug in directory special remote, when moving a file
to the remote failed, and partially transferred content was left
behind in the directory, re-running the same move would think it
succeeded and delete the local copy."""]]

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

[[!toggleable text="""
* "here" can be used to refer to the current repository,
which can read better than the old "." (which still works too).
* Directory special remotes now support chunking files written to them,
avoiding writing files larger than a specified size.
* Add progress bar display to the directory special remote.
* Add configurable hooks that are run when git-annex starts and stops
using a remote: remote.name.annex-start-command and
remote.name.annex-stop-command
* Fix a bug in symlink calculation code, that triggered in rare
cases where an annexed file is in a subdirectory that nearly
matched to the .git/annex/object/xx/yy subdirectories."""]]
