git-annex 5.20140421 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* assistant: Now detects immediately when other repositories push
changes to a ssh remote, and pulls.
** XMPP is no longer needed in this configuration! **
This requires the remote server have git-annex-shell with
notifychanges support (>= 5.20140405)
* webapp: Show a network signal icon next to ssh and xmpp remotes that
it's currently connected with.
* webapp: Rework xmpp nudge to prompt for either xmpp or a ssh remote
to be set up.
* sync, assistant, remotedaemon: Use ssh connection caching for git pushes
and pulls.
* remotedaemon: When network connection is lost, close all cached ssh
connections.
* Improve handling of monthly/yearly scheduling.
* Avoid depending on shakespeare except for when building the webapp.
* uninit: Avoid making unncessary copies of files.
* info: Allow use in a repository where annex.uuid is not set.
* reinit: New command that can initialize a new repository using
the configuration of a previously known repository.
Useful if a repository got deleted and you want
to clone it back the way it was.
* drop --from: When local repository is untrusted, its copy of a file does
not count.
* Bring back rsync -p, but only when git-annex is running on a non-crippled
file system. This is a better approach to fix #700282 while not
unncessarily losing file permissions on non-crippled systems.
* webapp: Start even if the current directory is listed in
~/.config/git-annex/autostart but no longer has a git repository in it.
* findref: New command, like find but shows files in a specified git ref.
* webapp: Fix UI for removing XMPP connection.
* When init detects that git is not configured to commit, and sets
user.email to work around the problem, also make it set user.name.
* webapp: Support using git-annex on a remote server, which was installed
from the standalone tarball or OSX app, and so does not have
git-annex in PATH (and may also not have git or rsync in PATH).
* standalone tarball, OSX app: Install a ~/.ssh/git-annex-wrapper, which
can be used to run git-annex, git, rsync, etc."""]]
