* assistant, watcher: .gitignore files and other git ignores are now
    honored, when git 1.8.4 or newer is installed.
    (Thanks, Adam Spiers, for getting the necessary support into git for this.)
  * importfeed: Ignores transient problems with feeds. Only exits nonzero
    when a feed has repeatedly had a problems for at least 1 day.
  * importfeed: Fix handling of dots in extensions.
  * Windows: Added support for encrypted special remotes.
  * Windows: Fixed permissions problem that prevented removing files

\"For git-annex, note that an attacker with local machine access can tell at least all the filenames and metadata of files stored in the encrypted remote anyway, and can access whatever content is stored locally.\"
Better security is given by sshfs + cryptmount, which I used when I recently setup a git-annex repository on a free shell account from a provider I do not trust.
See http://code.cjb.net/free-secure-online-backup.html for what I did to get a really secure solution.
Kind regards,
Hans Ekbrand
