git-annex has a new nicer versions of its [[logo]], thanks to John Lawrence.

Finally tracked down a week-old bug about the watcher crashing. It turned
|
|
out to crash when it encountered a directory containing a character that's
|
|
invalid in the current locale. I've noticed that 'ü' is often the character I
|
|
get bug reports about. After reproducing the bug I quickly tracked it down
|
|
to code in the haskell hinotify library, and sent in a patch.
|
|
|
|
Also uploaded a fixed hinotify to Debian, and deployed it to all 3 of the
|
|
autobuilder chroots. That took much more time than actually fixing the bug.
|
|
Quite a lot of yak shaving went on actually. Oh well. The Linux
|
|
autobuilders are updated to use Debian unstable again, which is nice.
|
|
|
|
Fixed a bug that prevented annex.diskreserve to be honored when storing
|
|
files encrypted in a directory special remote.
|
|
|
|
Taught the webapp the difference between initializing a new special remote
|
|
and enabling an existing special remote, which fixed some bad behavior when
|
|
it got confused.

And then for the really fun bug of the day! A user sent me a large file
|
|
which badly breaks git annex add. Adding the file causes a symlink to be
|
|
set up, but the file's content is not stored in the annex. Indeed, it's
|
|
deleted. This is the first data loss bug since January 2012.
|
|
|
|
Turns out it was caused by the code that handles the dummy files git uses
|
|
in place of symlinks on FAT etc filesystems. Code that had no business
|
|
running when `core.symlinks=true`. Code that was prone to false positives
|
|
when looking at a tarball of a git-annex repository. So I put in multiple
|
|
fixes for this bug. I'll be making a release on Monday.
