* New or changed repository descriptions in uuid.log now have a timestamp,
which is used to ensure the newest description is used when the uuid.log
has been merged.
* Note that older versions of git-annex will display the timestamp as part
of the repository description, which is ugly but otherwise harmless.
git is slow when the index file is large and has to be rewritten each time
a file is changed. To speed this up, added a journal where changes are
recorded before being fed into the index file and committed to the
git-annex branch. The entire journal can be fed into git with just 2
commands, and only one write of the index file.
to avoid some issues with git on OSX with the mixed-case directories. No
migration is needed; the old mixed case hash directories are still read;
new information is written to the new directories.
