Made a release today. Releasing has sure gotten easier with all the
autobuilds to use!

I am now using git-annex to share files with my mom. Here's how the webapp
looks for our family's repository. Soon several of us will be using this
repository.

We're using XMPP and rsync.net, so pretty standard setup much like
shown in my last screencast.

Real-world deployments help find bugs, and I found a few:

* If you're running the webapp in `w3m` on a remote computer to set it up,
  some forms are lacking submit buttons. This must be a issue with
  Bootstrap, or HTML5, I guess. I switched to `lynx` and it offers a
  way to submit forms that lack an explicit button.

* Progress bars for downloads from encrypted rsync repos don't update
  during the actual download, but only when gpg is decrypting the
  downloaded file.

* XMPP pushes sometimes fail still. Especially when your mom's computer
  is saturating its limited outgoing network connection uploading hundreds of
  photos. I have not yet determined if this is a packet loss/corruption issue,
  or if the XMPP messages are getting out of order. My gut feeling is it's
  the latter, in which can I can fix this pretty easily by adding sequence
  numbers and some buffering for out of order packets. Or perhaps just
  make it retry failed pushes when this happens.
  
  Anyway, I found it was useful to set up a regular git repository on a
  server to suppliment the git pushes over XMPP. It's helpful to have
  such a git repository anyway, so that clients can push to there when the
  other client(s) are not online to be pushed to directly over XMPP.
