Raw Blame History

git-annex (5.20150714) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
* Fix bug that prevented uploads to remotes using new-style chunking
from resuming after the last successfully uploaded chunk.
* Switched option parsing to use optparse-applicative. This was a very large
and invasive change, and may have caused some minor behavior changes to
edge cases of option parsing. (For example, the metadata command no
longer accepts the combination of --get and --set, which never actually
worked.)
* Bash completion file is now included in the git-annex source tree,
and installed into Debian package (and any other packages built using make
install). This bash completion is generated by the option parser, so it
covers commands, all options, and will never go out of date!
* As well as tab completing "git-annex" commands, "git annex" will also tab
complete. However, git's bash completion script needs a patch,
which I've submitted, for this to work prefectly.
* version --raw now works when run outside a git repository.
* assistant --startdelay now works when run outside a git repository.
* dead now accepts multiple --key options.
* sync --content: Fix bug that caused files to be uploaded to eg,
more archive remotes than wanted copies, only to later be dropped
to satisfy the preferred content settings.
* importfeed: Improve detection of known items whose url has changed,
and avoid adding redundant files. Where before this only looked at
permalinks in rss feeds, it now also looks at guids.
* importfeed: Look at not only permalinks, but now also guids
to identify previously downloaded files.
* Adjust debian build deps: The webapp can now build on arm64, s390x
and hurd-i386. WebDAV support is also available on those architectures.
* Debian package now maintained by Richard Hartmann.

git-annex (5.20150710) unstable; urgency=medium
* add: Stage symlinks the same as git add would, even if they are not a
link to annexed content.
* sync: When annex.autocommit=false, avoid making any commit of local
changes, while still merging with remote to the extent possible.
* unused: --used-refspec can now be configured to look at refs in the
reflog. This provides a way to not consider old versions of files to be
unused after they have reached a specified age, when the old refs in
the reflog expire.
* log: Fix reversion introduced in version 5.20150528 that broke this command.
* assistant --autostart: First stop any daemons that are already running,
which might be left over from a previous login session and so unable to
use the ssh agent of a new login session.
* assistant: Fix local pairing to not include newline in ssh pubkey,
which is rejected on the other end for security reasons.
* assistant: Fix ANNEX_SHELL_DIR written to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
in local pairing to be the absolute path to the repository, not "."
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* Brought back the setkey plumbing command that was removed in 2011, since
we found a use case for it. Note that the command's syntax was changed
for consistency.
* bugfix: Pass --full-tree when using git ls-files to get a list of files
on the git-annex branch, so it works when run in a subdirectory.
This bug affected git-annex unused, and potentially also transitions
running code and other things.
* Support git's undocumented core.sharedRepository=2 value, which
is equivalent to "world", and is set when a repo was created using
git init --shared=world.
* When building on linux, pass --as-needed to linker to avoid linking
with unused shared libraries including libyaml.
* import: Fix failure of cross-device import on Windows.
* merge: Avoid creating the synced/master branch.
* Removed support for optparse-applicative versions older than 0.10.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Fri, 10 Jul 2015 16:36:42 -0400
git-annex (5.20150617) unstable; urgency=medium
* Now supports git annex sync --all --content to sync all versions of all
files with all repos that want them.
* Added new "anything" preferred content expression, which matches all
versions of all files.
* Standard preferred content for client, backup, incremental backup,
and unwanted groups have been adjusted to work better when used
with git annex sync --all --content.
* fromkey, registerurl: Improve handling of urls that happen to also
be parsable as strange keys.
* sync, remotedaemon: Pass configured ssh-options even when
annex.sshcaching is disabled.
* assistant: Consume systemd-networkd dbus events to learn about
changes to network connections, as was already done with
network-manager and wicd.
Thanks to Sebastian Reuße for the patches.
* get --incomplete: New option to resume any interrupted downloads.
* dead --key: Can be used to mark a key as dead.
* fsck: Ignore keys that are known to be dead when running in
--all/--unused/--key mode or a in a bare repo. Closes: #753888
Otherwise, still reports files with lost contents, even if the content
is dead.
* S3: Special remotes can be configured with public=yes to allow
the public to access the bucket's content.
* S3: Publically accessible buckets can be used without creds.
* import --clean-duplicates: Fix bug that didn't count local or trusted
repo's copy of a file as one of the necessary copies to allow removing
it from the import location.
* tahoe: Use ~/.tahoe-git-annex/ rather than ~/.tahoe/git-annex/
when setting up a tahoe special remote to avoid old versions of
tahoe create-client choking.
* Fix bug that prevented enumerating locally present objects in repos
tuned with annex.tune.objecthash1=true.
Fixes: unused, object count in info, unannex.
* Improve url parsing to handle some urls containing illegal []
characters in their paths.
* info: Added json output for "backend usage", "numcopies stats",
"repositories containing these files", and "transfers in progress".
* Fix incremental backup standard preferred content expression to match
its documentation, which says it does not want files that have reached
a backup repository.
* Increased the default annex.bloomaccuracy from 1000 to 10000000.
This makes git annex unused use up to 16 mb more memory than it did
before, but the massive increase in accuracy makes this worthwhile
for all but the smallest systems.
* Build documentation with deterministic=1 for reproducible builds.
(A new ikiwiki feature.) Closes: #785736
* Re-remove dependency on obsolete hamlet package. Closes: #786659
* debian/cabal-wrapper: Removed this hack which should not be needed anymore.

git-annex (5.20150528) unstable; urgency=medium
* fromkey, registerurl: Allow urls to be specified instead of keys,
and generate URL keys.
* Linux standalone, OSX app: Improve runshell script to always quote
shell vars, so that it will work when eg, untarred into a directory
path with spaces in its name.
* Revert removal dependency on obsolete hamlet package, since the
autobuilders are not ready for this change yet and it prevented them
from building the webapp. Reopens: #786659
* fsck: When checksumming a file fails due to a hardware fault,
the file is now moved to the bad directory, and the fsck proceeds.
Before, the fsck immediately failed.
* Linux standalone: The webapp was not built in the previous release,
this release fixes that oversight.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 28 May 2015 10:48:03 -0400
git-annex (5.20150522) unstable; urgency=medium
* import: Refuse to import files that are within the work tree, as that
does not make sense and could cause data loss.
* drop: Now supports --all, --unused, and --key.
* drop: Now defaults to --all when run in a bare repository.
(Previously, did nothing when run in a bare repository.)
* get, move, copy, mirror: Concurrent transfers are now supported!
For example: git-annex get -J10
However, progress bars are not yet displayed for concurrent transfers,
pending an updated version of the ascii-progress library.
* --quiet now makes progress output by rsync, wget, etc be quiet too.
* Take space that will be used by other running downloads into account when
checking annex.diskreserve.
* Avoid accumulating transfer failure log files unless the assistant is
being used.
* Fix an unlikely race that could result in two transfers of the same key
running at once.
* Stale transfer lock and info files will be cleaned up automatically
when get/unused/info commands are run.
* unused: Add --used-refspec option and annex.used-refspec, which can
specify a set of refs to consider used, rather than the default of
considering all refs used.
* webapp: Fix zombie xdg-open process left when opening file browser.
Closes: #785498
* Safer posix fctnl locking implementation, using lock pools and STM.
* Build documentation with TZ=UTC for reproducible builds. See #785736.
* OSX: Corrected the location of trustedkeys.gpg, so the built-in
upgrade code will find it. Fixes OSX upgrade going forward, but
older versions won't upgrade themselves due to this problem.
* Remove dependency on obsolete hamlet package. Closes: #786659
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Fri, 22 May 2015 14:20:18 -0400
git-annex (5.20150508.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Now builds cleanly using ghc 7.10 (as well as ghc back to 7.6).
* Imrovements to the git-annex-standalone.deb build process.
(Thanks, Yaroslav Halchenko)
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 11 May 2015 12:08:58 -0400
git-annex (5.20150508) unstable; urgency=medium
* Improve behavior when a git-annex command is told to operate
on a file that doesn't exist. It will now continue to other
files specified after that on the command line, and only error out at
the end.
* S3: Enable debug logging when annex.debug or --debug is set.
* S3: git annex info will show additional information about a S3 remote
(endpoint, port, storage class)
* S3: Let git annex enableremote be used, without trying to recreate
a bucket that should already exist.
* S3: Fix incompatability with bucket names used by hS3; the aws library
cannot handle upper-case bucket names. git-annex now converts them to
lower case automatically.
* import: Check for gitignored files before moving them into the tree.
(Needs git 1.8.4 or newer.)
* import: Don't stop entire import when one file fails due to being
gitignored or conflicting with something in the work tree.
* import: Before removing a duplicate file in --deduplicate or
--clean-duplicates mode, verify that enough copies of its content still
exist.
* Improve integration with KDE's file manager to work with dolphin
version 14.12.3 while still being compatable with 4.14.2.
Thanks, silvio.
* assistant: Added --autostop to complement --autostart.
* Work around wget bug #784348 which could cause it to clobber git-annex
symlinks when downloading from ftp.
* Support checking ftp urls for file presence.
* Fix bogus failure of fsck --fast.
* fsck: Ignore error recording the fsck in the activity log,
which can happen when running fsck in a read-only repository.
Closes: #698559
(fsck can still need to write to the repository if it find problems,
but a successful fsck can be done read-only)
* Improve quvi 0.4 output parsing to handle cases wher there is no known
filename extension. This is currently the case when using quvi with
youtube. In this case, the extension ".m" will be used.
* Dropped support for older versions of yesod, warp, and dbus than the ones
in Debian Jessie.
* Switch from the obsolete dataenc library for base64 encoding to sandi.
(Thanks, Magnus Therning)
* Debian's ghc now supports TH on arm! Adjust build dependencies
to build the webapp on arm, and enable DAV support on arm. \o/
* Adjust some other arch specific build dependencies that are now
available on more architectures in Devian unstable.
* Windows: Remove cygwin ssh, the newer version of which has stopped
honoring the setting of HOME. Instead, copy msysgit's ssh into PATH.
Note that setting up a remote ssh server using password authentication
is known to be broken in this release on Windows.
* Windows: Roll back to an older version of rsync from cygwin.
The newer version has some dependency on a newer ssh from cygwin.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Fri, 08 May 2015 13:42:30 -0400
git-annex (5.20150420) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix activity log parsing, which caused the log to not retain
activity from other uuids.
* Union merge could fall over if there was a file in the repository
with the same name as a git ref. Now fixed.
* info dir: Added information about repositories that
contain files in the specified directory.
* info: Added --bytes option.
* bittorrent: Fix handling of magnet links.
* When a key's size is unknown, still check the annex.diskreserve,
and avoid getting content if the disk is too full.
* Fix fsck --from a git remote in a local directory, and from
a directory special remote.
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* fsck --from remote: When bad content is found in the remote,
and the local repo does not have a copy of the content, preserve
the bad content in .git/annex/bad/ to avoid further data loss.
* fsck --from remote: Avoid downloading a key if it would go over
the annex.diskreserve limit.
* required: New command, like wanted, but for required content.
* Removed dependency on haskell SHA library,
instead using cryptohash >= 0.11.0.
* Make repo init more robust.
* New debian/rules build-standalone target, which generates a
git-annex-standalone.deb that should work on many old Debian etc
systems. Thanks, Yaroslav Halchenko.
* Windows: Renamed start menu file to avoid loop in some versions
of Windows where the menu file is treated as a git-annex program.
* Windows: Fixed support of remotes on other drives.
(A reversion introduced in version 5.20150113.)
* Windows: Bundled versions of rsync, wget, ssh, and gpg from
cygwin all updated. Thanks, Yury V. Zaytsev.

git-annex (5.20150409) unstable; urgency=medium
* This fixes a bug in the assistant introduced by the literal pathspec
changes in version 5.20150406.
* --quiet now suppresses progress displays from eg, rsync.
(Second time's the charm..)
* fromkey, registerurl: When reading from stdin, allow the
filename and url, respectively, to contain whitespace.
* add: If annex.largefiles is set and does not match a file that's being
added, the file will be checked into git rather than being added to the
annex. Previously, git annex add skipped over such files; this new
behavior is more useful in direct mode.
* proxy: Made it work when run in a new repository before initial
commit.
* info: Display repository mode: bare when in a bare (non-direct mode)
repo.
* importfeed: Fix feed download when curl is used.
* importfeed: Error out when passed a non-url.
* webapp: When adding another local repository, and combining it
with the current repository, the new repository's remote path
was set to "." rather than the path to the current repository.
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
* contentlocationn: New plumbing command.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 09 Apr 2015 15:06:38 -0400
git-annex (5.20150406.1) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fixes a bug in the last release that caused rsync and possibly
other commands to hang at the end of a file transfer.
(--quiet is back to not blocking progress displays until
that code can be fixed properly.)
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 06 Apr 2015 17:13:13 -0400
git-annex (5.20150406) unstable; urgency=medium
* Prevent git-ls-files from double-expanding wildcards when an
unexpanded wildcard is passed to a git-annex command like add or find.
* Fix make build target. Thanks, Justin Geibel.
* Fix GETURLS in external special remote protocol to strip
downloader prefix from logged url info before checking for the
specified prefix.
* importfeed: Avoid downloading a redundant item from a feed whose
permalink has been seen before, even when the url has changed.
* importfeed: Always store itemid in metadata; before this was only
done when annex.genmetadata was set.
* Relax debian package dependencies to git >= 1:1.8.1 rather
than needing >= 1:2.0.
* test: Fix --list-tests
* addurl --file: When used with a special remote that claims
urls and checks their contents, don't override the user's provided
filename with filenames that the special remote suggests. Also,
don't allow adding the url if the special remote says it contains
multiple files.
* import: --deduplicate and --cleanduplicates now output the keys
corresponding to duplicated files they process.
* expire: New command, for expiring inactive repositories.
* fsck: Record fsck activity for use by expire command.
* Fix truncation of parameters that could occur when using xargs git-annex.
* Significantly sped up processing of large numbers of directories
passed to a single git-annex command.
* version: Add --raw
* init: Improve fifo test to detect NFS systems that support fifos
but not well enough for sshcaching.
* --quiet now suppresses progress displays from eg, rsync.
(The option already suppressed git-annex's own built-in progress
displays.)
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Mon, 06 Apr 2015 12:48:48 -0400
git-annex (5.20150327) unstable; urgency=medium
* readpresentkey: New plumbing command for checking location log.
* checkpresentkey: New plumbing command to check if a key can be verified
to be present on a remote.
* Added a post-update-annex hook, which is run after the git-annex branch
is updated. Needed for git update-server-info.
* migrate: --force will force migration of keys already using the
destination backend. Useful in rare cases.
* Man pages for individual commands now available, and can be
opened using "git annex help <command>"
* --auto is no longer a global option; only get, drop, and copy
accept it. (Not a behavior change unless you were passing it to a
command that ignored it.)
* Improve error message when --in @date is used and there is no
reflog for the git-annex branch.
* assistant: Committing a whole lot of files at once could overflow
command-line length limits and cause the commit to fail. This
only happened when using the assistant in an indirect mode repository.
* Work around curl bug when asked to download an empty url to a file.
* Fix bug introduced in the last release that broke git-annex sync
when git-annex was installed from the standalone tarball.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Fri, 27 Mar 2015 13:10:59 -0400
git-annex (5.20150317) unstable; urgency=medium
* fsck: Incremental fsck uses sqlite to store its records, instead
of abusing the sticky bit. Existing sticky bits are ignored;
incremental fscks started by old versions won't be resumed by
this version.
* fsck: Multiple incremental fscks of different repos (including remotes)
can now be running at the same time in the same repo without it
getting confused about which files have been checked for which remotes.
* unannex: Refuse to unannex when repo is too new to have a HEAD,
since in this case there must be staged changes in the index
(if there is anything to unannex), and the unannex code path
needs to run with a clean index.
* Linux standalone: Set LOCPATH=/dev/null to work around
https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/7695
This prevents localization from working, but git-annex
is not localized anyway.
* sync: As well as the synced/git-annex push, attempt a
git-annex:git-annex push, as long as the remote branch
is an ancestor of the local branch, to better support bare git repos.
(This used to be done, but it forgot to do it since version 4.20130909.)
* When re-execing git-annex, use current program location, rather than
~/.config/git-annex/program, when possible.
* Submodules are now supported by git-annex!
* metadata: Fix encoding problem that led to mojibake when storing
metadata strings that contained both unicode characters and a space
(or '!') character.
* Also potentially fixes encoding problem when embedding credentials
that contain unicode characters.
* sync: Fix committing when in a direct mode repo that has no HEAD ref.
(For example, a newly checked out git submodule.)
* Added SETURIPRESENT and SETURIMISSING to external special remote protocol,
useful for things like ipfs that don't use regular urls.
* addurl: Added --raw option, which bypasses special handling of quvi,
bittorrent etc urls.
* git-annex-shell: Improve error message when the specified repository
doesn't exist or git config fails for some reason.
* fromkey --force: Skip test that the key has its content in the annex.
* fromkey: Add stdin mode.
* registerurl: New plumbing command for mass-adding urls to keys.
* remotedaemon: Fixed support for notifications of changes to gcrypt
remotes, which was never tested and didn't quite work before.

git-annex (5.20150219) unstable; urgency=medium
* glacier: Detect when the glacier command in PATH is the wrong one,
from boto, rather than from glacier-cli, and refuse to use it,
since the boto program fails to fail when passed
parameters it does not understand.
* groupwanted: New command to set the groupwanted preferred content
expression.
* import: Support file matching options such as --exclude, --include,
--smallerthan, --largerthan
* The file matching options are now only accepted by commands that
can actually use them, instead of by all commands.
* import: Avoid checksumming file twice when run in the default
or --duplicate mode.
* Windows: Fix bug in dropping an annexed file, which
caused a symlink to be staged that contained backslashes.
* webapp: Fix reversion in opening webapp when starting it manually
inside a repository.
* assistant: Improve sanity check for control characters when pairing.
* Improve race recovery code when committing to git-annex branch.
* addurl: Avoid crash if quvi is not installed, when git-annex was
built with process-1.2
* bittorrent: Fix mojibake introduced in parsing arai2c progress output.
* fsck --from: If a download from a remote fails, propagate the failure.
* metadata: When setting metadata, do not recurse into directories by
default, since that can be surprising behavior and difficult to recover
from. The old behavior is available by using --force.
* sync, assistant: Include repository name in head branch commit message.
* The ssh-options git config is now used by gcrypt, rsync, and ddar
special remotes that use ssh as a transport.
* sync, assistant: Use the ssh-options git config when doing git pull
and push.
* remotedaemon: Use the ssh-options git config.
* Linux standalone: Improved process names of linker shimmed programs.
-- Joey Hess <id@joeyh.name> Thu, 19 Feb 2015 14:16:03 -0400
git-annex (5.20150205) unstable; urgency=medium
* info: Can now display info about a given uuid.
* Added to remote/uuid info: Count of the number of keys present
on the remote, and their size. This is rather expensive to calculate,
so comes last and --fast will disable it.
* info remote: Include the date of the last sync with the remote.
* sync: Added --message/-m option like git commit.
* remotedaemon: Fix problem that could prevent ssh connections being
made after two LOSTNET messages were received in a row (perhaps due to
two different network interfaces being brought down).
* Fix build failure when wget is not installed.
* Fix wording of message displayed when unable to get a file that
is available in untrusted repositories.
* addurl: When a Content-Disposition header suggests a filename to use,
addurl will consider using it, if it's reasonable and doesn't conflict
with an existing file. (--file overrides this)
* Fix default repository description created by git annex init,
which got broken by the relative path changes in the last release.
* init: Repository tuning parameters can now be passed when initializing a
repository for the first time. For details, see
http://git-annex.branchable.com/tuning/
* merge: Refuse to merge changes from a git-annex branch of a repo
that has been tuned in incompatible ways.
* Support annex.tune.objecthash1, annex.tune.objecthashlower, and
annex.tune.branchhash1.
* Remove support for building without cryptohash.
* Added MD5 and MD5E backends.
* assistant: Fix local pairing when ssh pubkey comment contains spaces.
* Avoid using fileSize which maxes out at just 2 gb on Windows.
Instead, use hFileSize, which doesn't have a bounded size.
Fixes support for files > 2 gb on Windows.
* Windows: Fix running of the pre-commit-annex hook.
* Windows: Fix S3 special remote; need to call withSocketsDo. Thanks, Trent.

git-annex (5.20150113) unstable; urgency=medium
* unlock: Don't allow unlocking files that have never been committed to git
before, to avoid an intractable problem that prevents the pre-commit
hook from telling if such a file is intended to be an annexed file or not.
* Avoid re-checksumming when migrating from hash to hashE backend.
Closes: #774494
* Fix build with process 1.2.1.0.
* Android: Provide a version built with -fPIE -pie to support Android 5.0.
* sync: Fix an edge case where syncing in a bare repository would try to
merge and so fail.
* Check git version at runtime, rather than assuming it will be the same
as the git version used at build time when running git-checkattr and
git-branch remove.
* Switch to using relative paths to the git repository.
- This allows the git repository to be moved while git-annex is running in
it, with fewer problems.
- On Windows, this avoids some of the problems with the absurdly small
MAX_PATH of 260 bytes. In particular, git-annex repositories should
work in deeper/longer directory structures than before.
* Generate shorter keys for WORM and URL, avoiding keys that are longer
than used for SHA256, so as to not break on systems like Windows that
have very small maximum path length limits.
* Bugfix: A file named HEAD in the work tree could confuse some git commands
run by git-annex.

git-annex (5.20141231) unstable; urgency=medium
* vicfg: Avoid crashing on badly encoded config data.
* Work around statfs() overflow on some XFS systems.
* sync: Now supports remote groups, the same way git remote update does.
* setpresentkey: A new plumbing-level command.
* Run shutdown cleanup actions even if there were failures processing
the command. Among other fixes, this means that addurl will stage
added files even if adding one of the urls fails.
* bittorrent: Fix locking problem when using addurl file://
* Windows: Fix local rsync filepath munging (fixes 26 test suite failures).
* Windows: Got the rsync special remote working.
* Windows: Fix handling of views of filenames containing '%'
* OSX: Switched away from deprecated statfs64 interface.

git-annex (5.20141219) unstable; urgency=medium
* Webapp: When adding a new box.com remote, use the new style chunking.
Thanks, Jon Ander Peñalba.
* External special remote protocol now includes commands for setting
and getting the urls associated with a key.
* Urls can now be claimed by remotes. This will allow creating,
for example, a external special remote that handles magnet: and
*.torrent urls.
* Use wget -q --show-progress for less verbose wget output,
when built with wget 1.16.
* Added bittorrent special remote.
* addurl behavior change: When downloading an url ending in .torrent,
it will download files from bittorrent, instead of the old behavior
of adding the torrent file to the repository.
* Added Recommends on aria2.
* When possible, build with the haskell torrent library for parsing
torrent files. As a fallback, can instead use btshowmetainfo from
bittornado | bittorrent.
* Fix build with -f-S3.

the direct mode guard in a safe way to do all sorts of things
including git revert, git mv, git checkout ...
* undo: New command to undo the most recent change to a file
or to the contents of a directory.
* Add undo action to nautilus and konqueror integration.
* diffdriver: New git-annex command, to make git external diff drivers
work with annexed files.
* pre-commit: Block partial commit of unlocked annexed file, since
that left a typechange staged in index due to some infelicity of git's
handling of partial commits.
* Work around behavior change in lsof 4.88's -F output format.
* S3: Switched to using the haskell aws library.
* S3: No longer buffers entire files in memory when uploading without
chunking.
* S3: When built with a new enough version of the haskell aws library,
supports doing multipart uploads, in order to store extremely large
files in S3 when not using chunking.
* Don't show "(gpg)" when decrypting the remote encryption cipher,
since this could be taken to read that's the only time git-annex
runs gpg, which is not the case.
* Debian package is now maintained by Gergely Nagy.
* Windows: Remove Alt+A keyboard shortcut, which turns out to have scope
outside the menus.
* Windows: Install ssh and other bundled programs to Git/cmd,
instead of Git/bin, since the latter is not in the default msysgit PATH.

* info: When run on a single annexed file, displays some info about the
file, including its key and size.
* info: When passed the name or uuid of a remote, displays info about that
remote. Remotes that support encryption, chunking, or embedded
creds will include that in their info.
* enableremote: When the remote has creds, update the local creds cache
file. Before, the old version of the creds could be left there, and

* Promote file not found warning message to an error.
* Fix transfer lock file FD leak that could occur when two separate
git-annex processes were both working to perform the same set of

* sync: Ensure that pending changes to git-annex branch are committed
before push when in direct mode. (Fixing a very minor reversion.)
* WORM backend: Switched to include the relative path to the file inside
the repository, rather than just the file's base name. Note that if you're
relying on such things to keep files separate with WORM, you should really
be using a better backend.
* Rather than crashing when there's a problem with the requested bloomfilter
capacity/accuracy, fall back to a reasonable default bloom filter size.
* Fix build with optparse-applicative 0.10. Closes: #761484

* Partially transferred files are automatically resumed when using
chunked remotes!
* The old chunksize= option is deprecated. Do not use for new remotes.
* Legacy code for directory remotes using the old chunksize= option
will keep them working, but more slowly than before.
* webapp: Automatically install Konqueror integration scripts
to get and drop files.
* repair: Removing bad objects could leave fsck finding no more
unreachable objects, but some branches no longer accessible.
Fix this, including support for fixing up repositories that
were incompletely repaired before.
* Fix cost calculation for non-encrypted remotes.
* Display exception message when a transfer fails due to an exception.
* WebDAV: Sped up by avoiding making multiple http connections
when storing a file.
* WebDAV: Avoid buffering whole file in memory when uploading and
downloading.
* WebDAV: Dropped support for DAV before 1.0.
* testremote: New command to test uploads/downloads to a remote.
* Dropping an object from a bup special remote now deletes the git branch
for the object, although of course the object's content cannot be deleted
due to the nature of bup.
* unlock: Better error handling; continue past files that are not available
or cannot be unlocked due to disk space, and try all specified files.
* Windows: Now uses actual inode equivilants in new direct mode
repositories, for safer detection of eg, renaming of files with the same
size and mtime.
* direct: Fix ugly warning messages.
* WORM backend: When adding a file in a subdirectory, avoid including the
subdirectory in the key name.
* S3, Glacier, WebDAV: Fix bug that prevented accessing the creds
when the repository was configured with encryption=shared embedcreds=yes.
* direct: Avoid leaving file content in misctemp if interrupted.
* git-annex-shell sendkey: Don't fail if a remote asks for a key to be sent
that already has a transfer lock file indicating it's being sent to that
remote. The remote may have moved between networks, or reconnected.

resolver.
* Deal with change in git 2.0 that made indirect mode merge conflict
resolution leave behind old files.
* sync: Fix git sync with local git remotes even when they don't have an
annex.uuid set. (The assistant already did so.)
* Set gcrypt-publish-participants when setting up a gcrypt repository,
to avoid unncessary passphrase prompts.
This is a security/usability tradeoff. To avoid exposing the gpg key
ids who can decrypt the repository, users can unset
gcrypt-publish-participants.
* Install nautilus hooks even when ~/.local/share/nautilus/ does not yet
exist, since it is not automatically created for Gnome 3 users.

* webapp: Support for enabling known git repositories on ssh servers.
The repository must have been added using initremote.
* webapp: When setting up a ssh remote, record it using initremote,

* metadata: New command that can attach metadata to files.
* --metadata can be used to limit commands to acting on files
that have particular metadata.
* Preferred content expressions can use metadata=field=value
to limit them to acting on files that have particular metadata.
* view: New command that creates and checks out a branch that provides
a structured view of selected metadata.
* vfilter, vadd, vpop, vcycle: New commands for operating within views.
* pre-commit: Update metadata when committing changes to locations
of annexed files within a view.
* Add progress display for transfers to/from external special remotes.
* unused: Fix to actually detect unused keys when in direct mode.
* fsck: When run with --all or --unused, while .gitattributes
annex.numcopies cannot be honored since it's operating on keys
instead of files, make it honor the global numcopies setting,
and the annex.numcopies git config setting.
* trust, untrust, semitrust, dead: Warn when the trust level is
overridden in .git/config.
* glacier: Do not try to run glacier value create when an existing glacier
remote is enabled.
* fsck: Refuse to do anything if more than one of --incremental, --more,
and --incremental-schedule are given, since it's not clear which option
should win.

* --in can now refer to files that were located in a repository at
some past date. For example, --in="here@{yesterday}"
* Fixed direct mode annexed content locking code, which is used to
guard against recursive file drops.
* This is the first beta-level release of the Windows port with important
fixes (see below).
(The webapp and assistant are still alpha-level on Windows.)
* sync --content: Honor annex-ignore configuration.
* sync: Don't try to sync with xmpp remotes, which are only currently
supported when using the assistant.
* sync --content: Re-pull from remotes after downloading content,
since that can take a while and other changes may be pushed in the
meantime.
* sync --content: Reuse smart copy code from copy command, including
handling and repairing out of date location tracking info.
Closes: #737480
* sync --content: Drop files from remotes that don't want them after
getting them.
* sync: Fix bug in automatic merge conflict resolution code when used
on a filesystem not supporting symlinks, which resulted in it losing
track of the symlink bit of annexed files.
* Added ways to configure rsync options to be used only when uploading
or downloading from a remote. Useful to eg limit upload bandwidth.
* Fix initremote with encryption=pubkey to work with S3, glacier, webdav,
and external special remotes.
* Avoid building with DAV 0.6 which is badly broken (see #737902).
* Fix dropping of unused keys with spaces in their name.
* Fix build on platforms not supporting the webapp.
* Document in man page that sshcaching uses ssh ControlMaster.
Closes: #737476

* Remove --json option from commands not supporting it.
* status: Support --json.
* list: Fix specifying of files to list.
* Allow --all to be mixed with matching options like --copies and --in
(but not --include and --exclude).
* numcopies: New command, sets global numcopies value that is seen by all
clones of a repository.
* The annex.numcopies git config setting is deprecated. Once the numcopies
command is used to set the global number of copies, any annex.numcopies
git configs will be ignored.
* assistant: Make the prefs page set the global numcopies.
* Add lackingcopies, approxlackingcopies, and unused to
preferred content expressions.
* Client, transfer, incremental backup, and archive repositories
now want to get content that does not yet have enough copies.
* Client, transfer, and source repositories now do not want to retain
unused file contents.
* assistant: Checks daily for unused file contents, and when possible
moves them to a repository (such as a backup repository) that
wants to retain them.
* assistant: annex.expireunused can be configured to cause unused
file contents to be deleted after some period of time.
* webapp: Nudge user to see if they want to expire old unused file
contents when a lot of them seem to be piling up in the repository.
* repair: Check git version at run time.
* assistant: Run the periodic git gc in batch mode.
* added annex.secure-erase-command config option.
* test suite: Use tasty-rerun, and expose tasty command-line options.
* Optimise non-bare http remotes; no longer does a 404 to the wrong
url every time before trying the right url. Needs annex-bare to be
set to false, which is done when initially probing the uuid of a
http remote.
* webapp: After upgrading a git repository to git-annex, fix
bug that made it temporarily not be synced with.
* whereis: Support --all.
* All commands that support --all also support a --key option,
which limits them to acting on a single key.

implemented.
* Fix a long-standing bug that could cause the wrong index file to be used
when committing to the git-annex branch, if GIT_INDEX_FILE is set in the
environment. This typically resulted in git-annex branch log files being
committed to the master branch and later showing up in the work tree.
(These log files can be safely removed.)
* assistant: Detect if .git/annex/index is corrupt at startup, and
recover.

* Windows: Avoid eating stdin when running ssh to add a authorized key,
since this is used for password prompting.
* Avoid looping if long-running git cat-file or git hash-object crashes
and keeps crashing when restarted.
* Assistant: Remove stale MERGE_HEAD files in lockfile cleanup.
* Remotes can now be made read-only, by setting remote.<name>.annex-readonly
* wanted, schedule: Avoid printing "ok" after requested value.
* assistant: Ensure that .ssh/config and .ssh/authorized_keys are not
group or world writable when writing to those files, as that can make
ssh refuse to use them, if it allows another user to write to them.
* addurl, importfeed: Honor annex.diskreserve as long as the size of the
url can be checked.
* add: Fix rollback when disk is completely full.
* assistant: Fixed several minor memory leaks that manifested when
adding a large number of files.

* Fix typo in test suite.
* Fix bug in Linux standalone build's shimming that broke git-annex-shell.
* Include git-receive-pack, git-upload-pack, git, and git-shell wrappers
in the Linux standalone build, and OSX app, so they will be available
when it's added to PATH.
* addurl, importfeed: Sanitize | and some other symbols and special
characters.
* Auto-upgrade v3 indirect repos to v5 with no changes.
This also fixes a problem when a direct mode repo was somehow set to v3
rather than v4, and so the automatic direct mode upgrade to v5 was not
done.
* Android: Avoid trying to use Android's own ionice, which does not
allow specifying a command to run. Fixes transferring files to/from
android and probably a few other things.

* Programs from Linux and OSX standalone builds can now be symlinked
into a directory in PATH as an alternative installation method, and will
use readlink to find where the build was unpacked.
* Include man pages in Linux and OSX standalone builds.
* Linux standalone build now includes its own glibc and forces the linker to
use it, to remove dependence on the host glibc.

* Android: Fix SRV record lookups for XMPP to use android getprop
command to find DNS server, since there is no resolv.conf.
* import: Add --skip-duplicates option.
* lock: Require --force. Closes: #731606
* import: better handling of overwriting an existing file/directory/broken

* repair: Remove damaged git-annex sync branches.
* status: Ignore new files that are gitignored.
* Fix direct mode's handling when modifications to non-annexed files
are pulled from a remote. A bug prevented the files from being updated

* annex.autoupgrade configures both the above upgrade behaviors.
* Added support for quvi 0.9. Slightly suboptimal due to limitations in its

* annex.version is now set to 5 for direct mode repositories.
This upgrade is handled fully automatically, no need to run
git annex upgrade
* The "status" command has been renamed to "info", to allow
"git annex status" to be used in direct mode repositories, now that
"git status" won't work in them.
* The -c option now not only modifies the git configuration seen by
git-annex, but it is passed along to every git command git-annex runs.
* watcher: Avoid loop when adding a file owned by someone else fails
in indirect mode because its permissions cannot be modified.
* webapp: Avoid encoding problems when displaying the daemon log file.
* webapp: Improve UI around remote that have no annex.uuid set,
either because setup of them is incomplete, or because the remote
git repository is not a git-annex repository.
* Include ssh-keygen in standalone bundle.
* Allow optionally configuring git-annex with -fEKG to enable awesome
remote monitoring interfaceat http://localhost:4242/
* Fix bug that caused bad information to be written to the git-annex branch
when running describe or other commands with a remote that has no uuid.
* Work around Android linker problem that had prevented git-annex from
running on Android 4.3 and 4.4.
* repair: Handle case where index file is corrupt, but all objects are ok.
* assistant: Notice on startup when the index file is corrupt, and
auto-repair.
* Fix direct mode merge bug when a direct mode file was deleted and replaced
with a directory. An ordering problem caused the directory to not get
created in this case.
Thanks to Tim for the test case.
* Direct mode .git/annex/objects directories are no longer left writable,
because that allowed writing to symlinks of files that are not present,
which followed the link and put bad content in an object location.
Thanks to Tim for the test case.

* add: Fix reversion in 4.20130827 when adding unlocked files that have
not yet been committed.
* unannex: New, much slower, but more safe behavior: Copies files out of
the annex. This avoids an unannex of one file breaking other files that
link to the same content. Also, it means that the content
remains in the annex using up space until cleaned up with
"git annex unused".
(The behavior of unannex --fast has not changed; it still hard links
to content in the annex. --fast was not made the default because it is
potentially unsafe; editing such a hard linked file can unexpectedly

committing to the git-annex branch, eg after a crash.
* assistant: Detect stale git lock files at startup time, and remove them.
* addurl: Better sanitization of generated filenames.
* Better sanitization of problem characters when generating URL and WORM

any ssh server, as well as on rsync.net.
* git-annex-shell: Added support for operating inside gcrypt repositories.
* Disable receive.denyNonFastForwards when setting up a gcrypt special
remote, since gcrypt needs to be able to fast-forward the master branch.
* import: Preserve top-level directory structure.
* Use cryptohash rather than SHA for hashing when no external hash program
is available. This is a significant speedup for SHA256 on OSX, for
example.
* Added SKEIN256 and SKEIN512 backends.
* Android build redone from scratch, many dependencies updated,
and entire build can now be done using provided scripts.
* assistant: Clear the list of failed transfers when doing a full transfer
scan. This prevents repeated retries to download files that are not
available, or are not referenced by the current git tree.
* indirect, direct: Better behavior when a file is not owned by
the user running the conversion.
* add, import, assistant: Better preserve the mtime of symlinks,
when when adding content that gets deduplicated.
* Send a git-annex user-agent when downloading urls.
Overridable with --user-agent option.
(Not yet done for S3 or WebDAV due to limitations of libraries used.)
* webapp: Fixed a bug where when a new remote is added, one file
may fail to sync to or from it due to the transferrer process not
yet knowing about the new remote.

more times than that (when a repository has several branches).
(Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* unused: Fix bugs in two edge cases involving manually staged changes.
(Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* Android: Fix bug in terminal app that caused it to spin using much
CPU and battery. This problem was introduced in version 4.20130601.
* sync, merge: Bug fix: Don't try to merge into master when in a bare repo.
* import: Add options to control handling of duplicate files:
--duplicate, --deduplicate, and --clean-duplicates
* mirror: New command, makes two repositories contain the same set of files.
* Set --clobber when running wget to ensure resuming works properly.
* Unescape characters in 'file://...' URIs. (Thanks, guilhem for the patch.)
* Better error message when trying to use a git remote that has annex.ignore
set.

git-annex (4.20130802) unstable; urgency=low
* dropunused behavior change: Now refuses to drop the last copy of a
file, unless you use the --force.
This was the last place in git-annex that could remove data referred
to by the git history, without being forced.
Like drop, dropunused checks remotes, and honors the global
annex.numcopies setting. (However, .gitattributes settings cannot
apply to unused files.)
* Fix inverted logic in last release's fix for data loss bug,
that caused git-annex sync on FAT or other crippled filesystems to add
symlink standin files to the annex.
* importfeed can be used to import files from podcast feeds.
* webapp: When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex
on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing
use of a different ssh key. That could result in unncessary password
prompts, or prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host.
* webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled.
* Add status message to XMPP presence tag, to identify to others that
the client is a git-annex client. Closes: #717652
* webapp: When creating a repository on a removable drive, set
core.fsyncobjectfiles, to help prevent data loss when the drive is yanked.
* Always build with -threaded, to avoid a deadlock when communicating with
gpg.
* unused: No longer shows as unused tmp files that are actively being
transferred.
* assistant: Fix NetWatcher to not sync with remotes that have
remote.<name>.annex-sync set to false.
* assistant: Fix deadlock that could occur when adding a lot of files
at once in indirect mode.
* assistant: Fix bug that caused it to stall when adding a very large
number of files at once (around 5 thousand).
* OSX: Make git-annex-webapp run in the background, so that the app icon
can be clicked on the open a new webapp when the assistant is already
running.
* Improve test suite on Windows; now tests git annex sync.
* Fix a few bugs involving filenames that are at or near the filesystem's
maximum filename length limit.
* find: Avoid polluting stdout with progress messages. Closes: #718186
* Escape ':' in file/directory names to avoid it being treated
as a pathspec by some git commands. Closes: #718185
* Slow and ugly work around for bug #718517 in git 1.8.4~rc0, which broke
git-cat-file --batch for filenames containing spaces.
(Will be reverted after next git pre-release fixes the problem.)

http://www.rsync.net/products/git-annex-pricing.html
* Install XDG desktop icon files.
* Support unannex and uninit in direct mode.
* Support import in direct mode.
* webapp: Better display of added files.
* fix: Preserve the original mtime of fixed symlinks.
* uninit: Preserve .git/annex/objects at the end, if it still
has content, so that old versions of files and deleted files
are not deleted. Print a message with some suggested actions.
* When a transfer is already being run by another process,
proceed on to the next file, rather than dying.
* Fix checking when content is present in a non-bare repository
accessed via http.
* Display byte sizes with more precision.
* watcher: Fixed a crash that could occur when a directory was renamed
or deleted before it could be scanned.
* watcher: Partially worked around a bug in hinotify, no longer crashes
if hinotify cannot process a directory (but can't detect changes in it)
* directory special remote: Fix checking that there is enough disk space
to hold an object, was broken when using encryption.
* webapp: Differentiate between creating a new S3/Glacier/WebDav remote,
and initializing an existing remote. When creating a new remote, avoid
conflicts with other existing (or deleted) remotes with the same name.
* When an XMPP server has SRV records, try them, but don't then fall
back to the regular host if they all fail.
* For long hostnames, use a hash of the hostname to generate the socket

git-annex (4.20130709) unstable; urgency=low
* --all: New switch that makes git-annex operate on all data stored
in the git annex, including old versions of files. Supported by
fsck, get, move, copy.
* --unused: New switch that makes git-annex operate on all data found
by the last run of git annex unused. Supported by fsck, move, copy.
* get, move, copy: Can now be run in a bare repository,
like fsck already could. --all is enabled automatically in this case.
* merge: Now also merges synced/master or similar branches, which
makes it useful to put in a post-receive hook to make a repository
automatically update its working copy when git annex sync or the assistant
sync with it.
* webapp: Fix ssh setup with nonstandard port, broken in last release.
* init: Detect systems on which git commit fails due to not being able to
determine the FQDN, and put in a workaround so committing to the git-annex
branch works.
* addurl --pathdepth: Fix failure when the pathdepth specified is deeper
than the urls's path.
* Windows: Look for .exe extension when searching for a command in path.
* Pass -f to curl when downloading a file with it, so it propigates failure.
* Windows: Fix url to object when using a http remote.
* webapp: Fix authorized_keys line added when setting up a rsync remote
on a server that also supports git-annex, to not force running
git-annex-shell.
* OSX Mountain Lion: Fixed gpg bundled in dmg to not fail due to a missing
gpg-agent.
* Android: gpg is built without --enable-minimal, so it interoperates
better with other gpg builds that may default to using other algorithms
for encryption.
* dropunused, addunused: Complain when asked to operate on a number that
does not correspond to any unused key.
* fsck: Don't claim to fix direct mode when run on a symlink whose content
is not present.
* Make --numcopies override annex.numcopies set in .gitattributes.

* webapp: Ensure that ssh keys generated for different directories
on a server are always different.
* webapp: Fix bug setting up ssh repo if the user enters "~/" at the start
of the path.
* assistant: Fix bug that prevented adding files written by gnucash,
and more generally support adding hard links to files. However,
other operations on hard links are still unsupported.

git-annex (4.20130621) unstable; urgency=low
* Supports indirect mode on encfs in paranoia mode, and other
filesystems that do not support hard links, but do support
symlinks and other POSIX filesystem features.
* Android: Add .thumbnails to .gitignore when setting up a camera
repository.
* Android: Make the "Open webapp" menu item open the just created
repository when a new repo is made.
* webapp: When the user switches to display a different repository,
that repository becomes the default repository to be displayed next time
the webapp gets started.
* glacier: Better handling of the glacier inventory, which avoids
duplicate uploads to the same glacier repository by `git annex copy`.
* Direct mode: No longer temporarily remove write permission bit of files
when adding them.
* sync: Better support for bare git remotes. Now pushes directly to the
master branch on such a remote, instead of to synced/master. This
makes it easier to clone from a bare git remote that has been populated
with git annex sync or by the assistant.
* Android: Fix use of cp command to not try to use features present
only on build system.
* Windows: Fix hang when adding several files at once.
* assistant: In direct mode, objects are now only dropped when all
associated files are unwanted. This avoids a repreated drop/get loop
of a file that has a copy in an archive directory, and a copy not in an
archive directory. (Indirect mode still has some buggy behavior in this
area, since it does not keep track of associated files.)
Closes: #712060
* status: No longer shows dead repositories.
* annex.debug can now be set to enable debug logging by default.
The webapp's debugging check box does this.
* fsck: Avoid getting confused by Windows path separators

* XMPP: Send pings and use them to detect when contact with the server
is lost.
* hook special remote: Added combined hook program support.
* Android app: Avoid using hard links to app's lib directory, which
is sometimes on a different filesystem than the data directory.
* Fix bug in parsing of parens in some preferred content expressions.
This fixes the behavior of the manual mode group.
* assistant: Work around git-cat-file's not reloading the index after files

the content of a file that was already present could incorrectly
be replaced with a symlink.
* Fix a bug in the git-annex branch handling code that could
cause info from a remote to not be merged and take effect immediately.

as received.
* direct mode: Direct mode commands now work on files staged in the index,
they do not need to be committed to git.
* Temporarily add an upper bound to the version of yesod that can be built
with, since yesod 1.2 has a great many changes that will require extensive
work on the webapp.
* Disable building with the haskell threaded runtime when the assistant

* direct: Fix a bug that could cause some files to be left in indirect mode.
* When initializing a directory special remote with a relative path,
the path is made absolute.
* SHA: Add a runtime sanity check that sha commands output something
that appears to be a real sha.
* configure: Better checking that sha commands output in the desired format.
* rsync special remotes: When sending from a crippled filesystem, use
the destination's default file permissions, as the local ones can
be arbitrarily broken. (Ie, ----rwxr-x for files on Android)
* migrate: Detect if a file gets corrupted while it's being migrated.
* Debian: Add a menu file.

`git commit --alow-empty -m ""` run an editor.
* sync: Bug fix, avoid adding to the annex the
dummy symlinks used on crippled filesystems.
* Add public repository group.
(And inpreferreddir to preferred content expressions.)

* S3: Dropping content from the Internet Archive doesn't work, but
their API indicates it does. Always refuse to drop from there.
* Automatically register public urls for files uploaded to the
Internet Archive.
* To enable an existing special remote, the new enableremote command
must be used. The initremote command now is used only to create
new special remotes.
* initremote: If two existing remotes have the same name,
prefer the one with a higher trust level.
* assistant: Improved XMPP protocol to better support multiple repositories
using the same XMPP account. Fixes bad behavior when sharing with a friend
when you or the friend have multiple reposotories on an XMPP account.
Note that XMPP pairing with your own devices still pairs with all
repositories using your XMPP account.
* assistant: Fix bug that could cause incoming pushes to not get
merged into the local tree. Particularly affected XMPP pushes.
* webapp: Display some additional information about a repository on
its edit page.
* webapp: Install FDO desktop menu file when started in standalone mode.
* webapp: Don't default to making repository in cwd when started
from within a directory containing a git-annex file (eg, standalone
tarball directory).
* Detect systems that have no user name set in GECOS, and also
don't have user.name set in git config, and put in a workaround
so that commits to the git-annex branch (and the assistant)
will still succeed despite git not liking the system configuration.
* webapp: When told to add a git repository on a remote server, and
the repository already exists as a non-bare repository, use it,
rather than initializing a bare repository in the same directory.
* direct, indirect: Refuse to do anything when the assistant
or git-annex watch daemon is running.
* assistant: When built with git before 1.8.0, use `git remote rm`
to delete a remote. Newer git uses `git remote remove`.
* rmurl: New command, removes one of the recorded urls for a file.
* Detect when the remote is broken like bitbucket is, and exits 0 when
it fails to run git-annex-shell.
* assistant: Several improvements to performance and behavior when
performing bulk adds of a large number of files (tens to hundreds
of thousands).
* assistant: Sanitize XMPP presence information logged for debugging.

* assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of
gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub.
Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use
such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard

* addurl: Bugfix: Did not properly add file in direct mode.
* assistant: Bug fix to avoid annexing the files that git uses
to stand in for symlinks on FAT and other filesystem not supporting
symlinks.
* Adjust preferred content expressions so that content in archive
directories is preferred until it has reached an archive or smallarchive
repository.
* webapp: New --listen= option allows running the webapp on one computer
and connecting to it from another. (Note: Does not yet use HTTPS.)

additional content was downloaded.
* webapp: Much improved progress bar display for downloads from encrypted
remotes.
* Avoid using runghc, as that needs ghci.
* webapp: When a repository's group is changed, rescan for transfers.
* webapp: Added animations.
* webapp: Include the repository directory in the mangled hostname and
ssh key name, so that a locked down ssh key for one repository is not
re-used when setting up additional repositories on the same server.

each time they are mounted.
* Direct mode: Fix support for adding a modified file.
* Avoid passing -p to rsync, to interoperate with crippled filesystems.
Closes: #700282

* webapp: Display any error message from git init if it fails to create
a repository.
* Fix a reversion in matching globs introduced in the last release,
where "*" did not match files inside subdirectories. No longer uses
the Glob library.
* copy: Update location log when no copy was performed, if the location
log was out of date.
* Makefile now builds using cabal, taking advantage of cabal's automatic
detection of appropriate build flags.
* test: The test suite is now built into the git-annex binary, and can
be run at any time.

git-annex (3.20130216) unstable; urgency=low
* Now uses the Haskell uuid library, rather than needing a uuid program.
* Now uses the Haskell Glob library, rather than pcre-light, avoiding
the need to install libpcre. Currently done only for Cabal or when
the Makefile is made to use -DWITH_GLOB
* Android port now available (command-line only).
* New annex.crippledfilesystem setting, allows use of git-annex
repositories on FAT and even worse filesystems; avoiding use of
hard links and locked down permissions settings. (Support is incomplete.)
* init: Detect when the repository is on a filesystem that does not
support hard links, or symlinks, or unix permissions, and set
annex.crippledfilesystem, as well as annex.direct.
* add: Improved detection of files that are modified while being added.
* Fix a bug in direct mode, introduced in the previous release, where
if a file was dropped and then got back, it would be stored in indirect
mode.

of changed files by the assistant, while it still does data syncing
and other tasks.
* assistant: Ignore .DS_Store on OSX.
* assistant: Fix location log when adding new file in direct mode.
* Deal with stale mappings for deleted file in direct mode.
* pre-commit: Update direct mode mappings.

git-annex (3.20130124) unstable; urgency=low
* Added source repository group, that only retains files until they've
been transferred to another repository. Useful for things like
repositories on cameras.
* Added manual repository group. Use to prevent the assistant from
downloading any file contents to keep things in sync. Instead
`git annex get`, `git annex drop` etc can be used manually as desired.
* webapp: More adjustments to longpoll code to deal with changes in
variable quoting in different versions of shakespeare-js.
* webapp: Avoid an error if a transfer is stopped just as it finishes.
Closes: #698184
* webapp: Now always logs to .git/annex/daemon.log
* webapp: Has a page to view the log, accessed from the control menu.
* webapp: Fix crash adding removable drive that has an annex directory
in it that is not a git repository.
* Deal with incompatability in gpg2, which caused prompts for encryption
passphrases rather than using the supplied --passphrase-fd.
* bugfix: Union merges involving two or more repositories could sometimes
result in data from one repository getting lost. This could result
in the location log data becoming wrong, and fsck being needed to fix it.
* sync: Automatic merge conflict resolution now stages deleted files.
* Depend on git 1.7.7.6 for --no-edit. Closes: #698399
* Fix direct mode mapping code to always store direct mode filenames
relative to the top of the repository, even when operating inside a
subdirectory.
* fsck: Detect and fix consistency errors in direct mode mapping files.
* Avoid filename encoding errors when writing direct mode mappings.

git-annex (3.20130114) unstable; urgency=low
* Now handles the case where a file that's being transferred to a remote
is modified in place, which direct mode allows. When this
happens, the transfer now fails, rather than allow possibly corrupt
data into the remote.
* fsck: Better checking of file content in direct mode.
* drop: Suggest using git annex move when numcopies prevents dropping a file.
* webapp: Repo switcher filters out repos that do not exist any more
(or are on a drive that's not mounted).
* webapp: Use IP address, rather than localhost, since some systems may
have configuration problems or other issues that prevent web browsers
from connecting to the right localhost IP for the webapp.
* webapp: Adjust longpoll code to work with recent versions of
shakespeare-js.
* assistant: Support new gvfs dbus names used in Gnome 3.6.
* In direct mode, files with the same key are no longer hardlinked, as
that would cause a surprising behavior if modifying one, where the other
would also change.
* webapp: Avoid illegal characters in hostname when creating S3 or
Glacier remote.
* assistant: Avoid committer crashing if a file is deleted at the wrong
instant.

drop, log, fsck, add, addurl.
* sync: No longer automatically adds files in direct mode.
* assistant: Detect when system is not configured with a user name,
and set environment to prevent git from failing.

git-annex (3.20130102) unstable; urgency=low
* direct, indirect: New commands, that switch a repository to and from
direct mode. In direct mode, files are accessed directly, rather than
via symlinks. Note that direct mode is currently experimental. Many
git-annex commands do not work in direct mode. Some git commands can
cause data loss when used in direct mode repositories.
* assistant: Now uses direct mode by default when setting up a new
local repository.
* OSX assistant: Uses the FSEvents API to detect file changes.
This avoids issues with running out of file descriptors on large trees,
as well as allowing detection of modification of files in direct mode.
Other BSD systems still use kqueue.
* kqueue: Fix bug that made broken symlinks not be noticed.
* vicfg: Quote filename. Closes: #696193
* Bugfix: Fixed bug parsing transfer info files, where the newline after
the filename was included in it. This was generally benign, but in
the assistant, it caused unexpected dropping of preferred content.
* Bugfix: Remove leading \ from checksums output by sha*sum commands,
when the filename contains \ or a newline. Closes: #696384
* fsck: Still accept checksums with a leading \ as valid, now that
above bug is fixed.
* SHA*E backends: Exclude non-alphanumeric characters from extensions.
* migrate: Remove leading \ in SHA* checksums, and non-alphanumerics
from extensions of SHA*E keys.

one-click enabling of the repository.
* Fix broken .config/git-annex/program installed by standalone tarball.
* assistant: Retrival from glacier now handled.
* Include ssh in standalone tarball and OSX app.
* watch: Avoid leaving hard links to files behind in .git/annex/tmp
if a file is deleted or moved while it's being quarantined in preparation
to being added to the annex.
* Allow `git annex drop --from web`; of course this does not remove
any file from the web, but it does make git-annex remove all urls
associated with a file.
* webapp: S3 and Glacier forms now have a select list of all
currently-supported AWS regions.
* webdav: Avoid trying to set props, avoiding incompatability with
livedrive.com. Needs DAV version 0.3.
* webapp: Prettify error display.
* webapp: Fix bad interaction between required fields and modals.
* webapp: Added help buttons and links next to fields that require
explanations.

when a too small chunksize was configured.
* Allow controlling whether login credentials for S3 and webdav are
committed to the repository, by setting embedcreds=yes|no when running
initremote.
* Added smallarchive repository group, that only archives files that are
in archive directories. Used by default for glacier when set up in the
webapp.
* assistant: Fixed handling of toplevel archive directory and
client repository group.
* assistant: Apply preferred content settings when a new symlink
is created, or a symlink gets renamed. Made archive directories work.

* webapp: Supports pairing over XMPP, with both friends, and other repos
using the same account.
* assistant: Drops non-preferred content when possible.
* assistant: Notices, and applies config changes as they are made to

Closes: #691341
* configure: Check that checksum programs produce correct checksums.
* Re-enable dbus, using a new version of the library that fixes the memory
leak.

* Use USER and HOME environment when set, and only fall back to getpwent,
which doesn't work with LDAP or NIS.
* rsync special remote: Include annex-rsync-options when running rsync
to test a key's presence.
* The standalone tarball's runshell now takes care of installing a
~/.ssh/git-annex-shell wrapper the first time it's run.
* webapp: Make an initial, empty commit so there is a master branch
* assistant: Fix syncing local drives.

* Bug fix: A recent change caused git-annex-shell to crash.
* Better preferred content expression for transfer repos.
* webapp: Repository edit form can now edit the name of a repository.
* webapp: Make bare repositories on removable drives, as there is nothing

scan is running and queueing new transfers for that remote.
* The standalone binaries are now built to not use ssh connection caching,
in order to work with old versions of ssh.
* A relative core.worktree is relative to the gitdir. Now that this is
handled correctly, git-annex can be used in git submodules.
* Temporarily disable use of dbus, as the haskell dbus library blows up
when losing connection, which will need to be fixed upstream.

* group, ungroup: New commands to indicate groups of repositories.
* webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
* vicfg: New command, allows editing (or simply viewing) most
of the repository configuration settings stored in the git-annex branch.
* Added preferred content expressions, configurable using vicfg.
* get --auto: If the local repository has preferred content
configured, only get that content.
* drop --auto: If the repository the content is dropped from has
preferred content configured, drop only content that is not preferred.
* copy --auto: Only transfer content that the destination repository prefers.
* assistant: Now honors preferred content settings when deciding what to
transfer.
* --copies=group:number can now be used to match files that are present
in a specified number of repositories in a group.
* Added --smallerthan, --largerthan, and --inall limits.

* New --time-limit option, makes long git-annex commands stop after
a specified amount of time.
* fsck: New --incremental-schedule option which is nice for scheduling
eg, monthly incremental fsck runs in cron jobs.
* Fix fallback to ~/Desktop when xdg-user-dir is not available.
Closes: #688833
* S3: When using a shared cipher, S3 credentials are not stored encrypted
in the git repository, as that would allow anyone with access to
the repository access to the S3 account. Instead, they're stored
in a 600 mode file in the local git repo.
* webapp: Avoid crashing when ssh-keygen -F chokes on an invalid known_hosts
file.
* Always do a system wide installation when DESTDIR is set. Closes: #689052
* The Makefile now builds with the new yesod by default.
Systems like Debian that have the old yesod 1.0.1 should set
GIT_ANNEX_LOCAL_FEATURES=-DWITH_OLD_YESOD
* copy: Avoid updating the location log when no copy is performed.
* configure: Test that uuid -m works, falling back to plain uuid if not.
* Avoid building the webapp on Debian architectures that do not yet

* webapp: An interface for managing and configuring the assistant.
* The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
from SHA256 to SHA256E, to simplify interoperability with OSX, media
players, and various programs that needlessly look at symlink targets.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=SHA256
* init: If no description is provided for a new repository, one will
automatically be generated, like "joey@gnu:~/foo"
* test: Set a lot of git environment variables so testing works in strange
environments that normally need git config to set names, etc.
Closes: #682351 Thanks, gregor herrmann
* Disable ssh connection caching if the path to the control socket would be
too long (and use relative path to minimise path to the control socket).
* migrate: Check content before generating the new key, to avoid generating
a key for corrupt data.
* Support repositories created with --separate-git-dir. Closes: #684405
* reinject: When the provided file doesn't match, leave it where it is,
rather than moving to .git/annex/bad/
* Avoid crashing on encoding errors in filenames when writing transfer info
files and reading from checksum commands.
* sync: Pushes the git-annex branch to remote/synced/git-annex, rather

git-annex (3.20120315) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck: Fix up any broken links and misplaced content caused by the
directory hash calculation bug fixed in the last release.
* sync: Sync to lower cost remotes first.
* status: Fixed to run in constant space.
* status: More accurate display of sizes of tmp and bad keys.
* unused: Now uses a bloom filter, and runs in constant space.
Use of a bloom filter does mean it will not notice a small
number of unused keys. For repos with up to half a million keys,
it will miss one key in 1000.
* Added annex.bloomcapacity and annex.bloomaccuracy, which can be
adjusted as desired to tune the bloom filter.
* status: Display amount of memory used by bloom filter, and
detect when it's too small for the number of keys in a repository.
* git-annex-shell: Runs hooks/annex-content after content is received
or dropped.
* Work around a bug in rsync (IMHO) introduced by openSUSE's SIP patch.
* git-annex now behaves as git-annex-shell if symlinked to and run by that
name. The Makefile sets this up, saving some 8 mb of installed size.
* git-union-merge is a demo program, so it is no longer built by default.

* Add configurable hooks that are run when git-annex starts and stops
using a remote: remote.name.annex-start-command and
remote.name.annex-stop-command
* Fix a bug in symlink calculation code, that triggered in rare
cases where an annexed file is in a subdirectory that nearly

git-annex (3.20120227) unstable; urgency=low
* Modifications to support ghc 7.4's handling of filenames.
This version can only be built with ghc 7.4 or newer. See the ghc7.0
branch for older ghcs.
* S3: Fix irrefutable pattern failure when accessing encrypted S3
credentials.
* Use the haskell IfElse library.
* Fix teardown of stale cached ssh connections.
* Fixed to use the strict state monad, to avoid leaking all kinds of memory
due to lazy state update thunks when adding/fixing many files.
* Fixed some memory leaks that occurred when committing journal files.
* Added a annex.queuesize setting, useful when adding hundreds of thousands
of files on a system with plenty of memory.
* whereis: Prints the urls of files that the web special remote knows about.
* addurl --fast: Verifies that the url can be downloaded (only getting
its head), and records the size in the key.
* When checking that an url has a key, verify that the Content-Length,
if available, matches the size of the key.
* addurl: Added a --file option, which can be used to specify what
file the url is added to. This can be used to override the default
filename that is used when adding an url, which is based on the url.
Or, when the file already exists, the url is recorded as another
location of the file.
* addurl: Normalize badly encoded urls.
* addurl: Add --pathdepth option.
* rekey: New plumbing level command, can be used to change the keys used
for files en masse.
* Store web special remote url info in a more efficient location.
(Urls stored with this version will not be visible to older versions.)
* Deal with NFS problem that caused a failure to remove a directory
when removing content from the annex.
* Make a single location log commit after a remote has received or
dropped files. Uses a new "git-annex-shell commit" command when available.
* To avoid commits of data to the git-annex branch after each command
is run, set annex.alwayscommit=false. Its data will then be committed
less frequently, when a merge or sync is done.
* configure: Check if ssh connection caching is supported by the installed
version of ssh and default annex.sshcaching accordingly.
* move --from, copy --from: Now 10 times faster when scanning to find
files in a remote on a local disk; rather than go through the location log
to see which files are present on the remote, it simply looks at the
disk contents directly.

git-annex (3.20120123) unstable; urgency=low
* fsck --from: Fscking a remote is now supported. It's done by retrieving
the contents of the specified files from the remote, and checking them,
so can be an expensive operation. Still, if the remote is a special
remote, or a git repository that you cannot run fsck in locally, it's
nice to have the ability to fsck it.
* If you have any directory special remotes, now would be a good time to
fsck them, in case you were hit by the data loss bug fixed in the
previous release!
* fsck --from remote --fast: Avoids expensive file transfers, at the
expense of not checking file size and/or contents.
* Ssh connection caching is now enabled automatically by git-annex.
Only one ssh connection is made to each host per git-annex run, which
can speed some things up a lot, as well as avoiding repeated password
prompts. Concurrent git-annex processes also share ssh connections.
Cached ssh connections are shut down when git-annex exits.
* To disable the ssh caching (if for example you have your own broader
ssh caching configuration), set annex.sshcaching=false.

* Add a sanity check for bad StatFS results. On architectures
where StatFS does not currently work (s390, mips, powerpc, sparc),

(depends on which is available, but most of their important options
suitable for use here are the same).
* Dotfiles, and files inside dotdirs are not added by "git annex add"
unless the dotfile or directory is explicitly listed. So "git annex add ."
will add all untracked files in the current directory except for those in
dotdirs.
* Added quickcheck to build dependencies, and fail if test suite cannot be
built.
* fsck: Do backend-specific check before checking numcopies is satisfied.

* sync: Improved to work well without a central bare repository.
Thanks to Joachim Breitner.
* Rather than manually committing, pushing, pulling, merging, and git annex
merging, we encourage you to give "git annex sync" a try.
* sync --fast: Selects some of the remotes with the lowest annex.cost
and syncs those, in addition to any specified at the command line.
* Union merge now finds the least expensive way to represent the merge.
* reinject: Add a sanity check for using an annexed file as the source file.
* Properly handle multiline git config values.
* Fix the hook special remote, which bitrotted a while ago.
* map: --fast disables use of dot to display map
* Test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 75%
* Improve deletion of files from rsync special remotes. Closes: #652849
* Add --include, which is the same as --not --exclude.
* Format strings can be specified using the new --format option, to control
what is output by git annex find.
* Support git annex find --json
* Fixed behavior when multiple insteadOf configs are provided for the
same url base.
* Can now be built with older git versions (before 1.7.7); the resulting
binary should only be used with old git.
* Updated to build with monad-control 0.3.

git-annex (3.20111211) unstable; urgency=medium
* Fix bug in last version in getting contents from bare repositories.
* Ensure that git-annex branch changes are merged into git-annex's index,
which fixes a bug that could cause changes that were pushed to the
git-annex branch to get reverted. As a side effect, it's now safe
for users to check out and commit changes directly to the git-annex
branch.
* map: Fix a failure to detect a loop when both repositories are local
and refer to each other with relative paths.
* Prevent key names from containing newlines.
* add: If interrupted, add can leave files converted to symlinks but not
yet added to git. Running the add again will now clean up this situtation.
* Fix caching of decrypted ciphers, which failed when drop had to check
multiple different encrypted special remotes.
* unannex: Can be run on files that have been added to the annex, but not
yet committed.
* sync: New command that synchronises the local repository and default
remote, by running git commit, pull, and push for you.
* Version monad-control dependency in cabal file.

* The VFAT filesystem on recent versions of Linux, when mounted with
shortname=mixed, does not get along well with git-annex's mixed case
.git/annex/objects hash directories. To avoid this problem, new content
is now stored in all-lowercase hash directories. Except for non-bare
repositories which would be a pain to transition and cannot be put on FAT.
(Old mixed-case hash directories are still tried for backwards
compatibility.)
* Flush json output, avoiding a buffering problem that could result in
doubled output.
* Avoid needing haskell98 and other fixes for new ghc. Thanks, Mark Wright.
* Bugfix: dropunused did not drop keys with two spaces in their name.
* Support for storing .git/annex on a different device than the rest of the
git repository.
* --inbackend can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
whose content is stored using a specified key-value backend.
* dead: A command which says that a repository is gone for good

* merge: Improve commit messages to mention what was merged.
* Avoid doing auto-merging in commands that don't need fully current

* init: When run in an already initalized repository, and without
a description specified, don't delete the old description.

* The default backend used when adding files to the annex is changed
from WORM to SHA256.
To get old behavior, add a .gitattributes containing: * annex.backend=WORM
* Sped up some operations on remotes that are on the same host.
* copy --to: Fixed leak when copying many files to a remote on the same
host.
* uninit: Add guard against being run with the git-annex branch checked out.
* Fail if --from or --to is passed to commands that do not support them.
* drop --from is now supported to remove file content from a remote.
* status: Now always shows the current repository, even when it does not
appear in uuid.log.
* fsck: Now works in bare repositories. Checks location log information,
and file contents. Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as
.gitattributes information about numcopies is not available in a bare
repository.
* unused, dropunused: Now work in bare repositories.
* Removed the setkey command, and added a reinject command with a more
useful interface.
* The fromkey command now takes the key as its first parameter. The --key
option is no longer used.
* Built without any filename containing .git being excluded. Closes: #647215
* Record uuid when auto-initializing a remote so it shows in status.
* Bugfix: Fixed git-annex init crash in a bare repository when there was
already an existing git-annex branch.

git-annex (3.20111011) unstable; urgency=low
* This version of git-annex only works with git 1.7.7 and newer.
The breakage with old versions is subtle, and affects the
annex.numcopies settings in .gitattributes, so be sure to upgrade git
to 1.7.7. (Debian package now depends on that version.)
* Don't pass absolute paths to git show-attr, as it started following
symlinks when that's done in 1.7.7. Instead, use relative paths,
which show-attr only handles 100% correctly in 1.7.7. Closes: #645046
* Fix referring to remotes by uuid.
* 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.
* Add timestamps to trust.log and remote.log too.
* git-annex-shell: Added the --uuid option.
* git-annex now asks git-annex-shell to verify that it's operating in
the expected repository.
* Note that this git-annex will not interoperate with remotes using
older versions of git-annex-shell.
* Now supports git's insteadOf configuration, to modify the url
used to access a remote. Note that pushInsteadOf is not used;
that and pushurl are reserved for actual git pushes. Closes: #644278
* status: List all known repositories.
* When displaying a list of repositories, show git remote names
in addition to their descriptions.

* --in can be used to make git-annex only operate on files
believed to be present in a given repository.
* Arbitrarily complex expressions can be built to limit the files git-annex
operates on, by combining the options --not --and --or -( and -)
Example: git annex get --exclude '*.mp3' --and --not -( --in usbdrive --or --in archive -)
* --copies=N can be used to make git-annex only operate on files with
the specified number of copies. (And --not --copies=N for the inverse.)
* find: Rather than only showing files whose contents are present,
when used with --exclude --copies or --in, displays all files that
match the specified conditions.
* Note that this is a behavior change for git-annex find! Old behavior
can be gotten by using: git-annex find --in .
* status: Massively sped up; remove --fast mode.
* unused: File contents used by branches and tags are no longer
considered unused, even when not used by the current branch. This is

* Always ensure git-annex branch exists.
* Modify location log parser to allow future expansion.
* --force will cause add, etc, to operate on ignored files.
* Avoid mangling encoding when storing the description of repository

* git-annex is now more robust; it will never leave state files
uncommitted when some other git process comes along and locks the index

* rsync is now used when copying files from repos on other filesystems.
cp is still used when copying file from repos on the same filesystem,

git-annex (0.20110516) unstable; urgency=low
* Add a few tweaks to make it easy to use the Internet Archive's variant
of S3. In particular, munge key filenames to comply with the IA's filename
limits, disable encryption, support their nonstandard way of creating
buckets, and allow x-archive-* headers to be specified in initremote to
set item metadata.
* Added filename extension preserving variant backends SHA1E, SHA256E, etc.
* migrate: Use current filename when generating new key, for backends
where the filename affects the key name.
* Work around a bug in Network.URI's handling of bracketed ipv6 addresses.

* Fix hasKeyCheap setting for bup and rsync special remotes.
* Add hook special remotes.
* Avoid crashing when an existing key is readded to the annex.
* unused: Now also lists files fsck places in .git/annex/bad/
* S3: When encryption is enabled, the Amazon S3 login credentials
are stored, encrypted, in .git-annex/remotes.log, so environment
variables need not be set after the remote is initialized.

git-annex (0.20110427) unstable; urgency=low
* Switch back to haskell SHA library, so git-annex remains buildable on
Debian stable.
* Added rsync special remotes. This could be used, for example, to
store annexed content on rsync.net (encrypted naturally). Or anywhere else.
* Bugfix: Avoid pipeline stall when running git annex drop or fsck on a
lot of files. Possibly only occured with ghc 7.

git-annex (0.20110425) unstable; urgency=low
* Use haskell Crypto library instead of haskell SHA library.
* Remove testpack from build depends for non x86 architectures where it
is not available. The test suite will not be run if it cannot be compiled.
* Avoid using absolute paths when staging location log, as that can
confuse git when a remote's path contains a symlink. Closes: #621386

git-annex (0.20110417) unstable; urgency=low
* bup is now supported as a special type of remote.
* The data sent to special remotes (Amazon S3, bup, etc) can be encrypted
using GPG for privacy.
* Use lowercase hash directories for locationlog files, 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.
* Unused files on remotes, particulary special remotes, can now be
identified and dropped, by using "--from remote" with git annex unused
and git annex dropunused.
* Clear up short option confusion between --from and --force (-f is now
--from, and there is no short option for --force).
* Add build depend on perlmagick so docs are consistently built.
Closes: #621410
* Add doc-base file. Closes: #621408
* Periodically flush git command queue, to avoid boating memory usage
too much.
* Support "sha1" and "sha512" commands on FreeBSD, and allow building
if any/all SHA commands are not available. Thanks, Fraser Tweedale

git-annex (0.20110401) experimental; urgency=low
* Amazon S3 is now supported as a special type of remote.
Warning: Encrypting data before sending it to S3 is not yet supported.
* Note that Amazon S3 support is not built in by default on Debian yet,
as hS3 is not packaged.
* fsck: Ensure that files and directories in .git/annex/objects
have proper permissions.
* Added a special type of remote called a directory remote, which
simply stores files in an arbitrary local directory.
* Bugfix: copy --to --fast never really copied, fixed.

git-annex (0.20110328) experimental; urgency=low
* annex.diskreserve can be given in arbitrary units (ie "0.5 gigabytes")
* Generalized remotes handling, laying groundwork for remotes that are
not regular git remotes. (Think Amazon S3.)
* Provide a less expensive version of `git annex copy --to`, enabled
via --fast. This assumes that location tracking information is correct,
rather than contacting the remote for every file.
* Bugfix: Keys could be received into v1 annexes from v2 annexes, via
v1 git-annex-shell. This results in some oddly named keys in the v1
annex. Recognise and fix those keys when upgrading, instead of crashing.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Mon, 28 Mar 2011 10:47:29 -0400
git-annex (0.20110325) experimental; urgency=low
* Free space checking is now done, for transfers of data for keys
that have free space metadata. (Notably, not for SHA* keys generated
with git-annex 0.2x or earlier.) The code is believed to work on
Linux, FreeBSD, and OSX; check compile-time messages to see if it
is not enabled for your OS.
* Add annex.diskreserve config setting, to control how much free space
to reserve for other purposes and avoid using (defaults to 1 mb).
* Add --fast flag, that can enable less expensive, but also less thorough
versions of some commands.
* fsck: In fast mode, avoid checking checksums.
* unused: In fast mode, just show all existing temp files as unused,
and avoid expensive scan for other unused content.
* migrate: Support migrating v1 SHA keys to v2 SHA keys with
size information that can be used for free space checking.
* Fix space leak in fsck and drop commands.
* migrate: Bugfix for case when migrating a file results in a key that
is already present in .git/annex/objects.
* dropunused: Significantly sped up; only read unused log file once.

git-annex (0.20110320) experimental; urgency=low
* Fix dropping of files using the URL backend.
* Fix support for remotes with '.' in their names.
* Add version command to show git-annex version as well as repository
version information.
* No longer auto-upgrade to repository format 2, to avoid accidental
upgrades, etc. Use git-annex upgrade when you're ready to run this
version.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:36:33 -0400
git-annex (0.20110316) experimental; urgency=low
* New repository format, annex.version=2.
* The first time git-annex is run in an old format repository, it
will automatically upgrade it to the new format, staging all
necessary changes to git. Also added a "git annex upgrade" command.
* Colons are now avoided in filenames, so bare clones of git repos
can be put on USB thumb drives formatted with vFAT or similar
filesystems.
* Added two levels of hashing to object directory and .git-annex logs,
to improve scalability with enormous numbers of annexed
objects. (With one hundred million annexed objects, each
directory would contain fewer than 1024 files.)
* The setkey, fromkey, and dropkey subcommands have changed how
the key is specified. --backend is no longer used with these.

git-annex (0.24) unstable; urgency=low
Branched the 0.24 series, which will be maintained for a while to
support v1 git-annex repos, while main development moves to the 0.2011
series, with v2 git-annex repos.
* Add Suggests on graphviz. Closes: #618039
* When adding files to the annex, the symlinks pointing at the annexed
content are made to have the same mtime as the original file.
While git does not preserve that information, this allows a tool
like metastore to be used with annexed files.
(Currently this is only done on systems supporting POSIX 200809.)
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:35:13 -0400
git-annex (0.23) unstable; urgency=low
* Support ssh remotes with a port specified.
* whereis: New subcommand to show where a file's content has gotten to.
* Rethink filename encoding handling for display. Since filename encoding
may or may not match locale settings, any attempt to decode filenames
will fail for some files. So instead, do all output in binary mode.
-- Joey Hess <joeyh@debian.org> Sat, 12 Mar 2011 15:02:49 -0400
git-annex (0.22) unstable; urgency=low
* Git annexes can now be attached to bare git repositories.
(Both the local and remote host must have this version of git-annex
installed for it to work.)
* Support filenames that start with a dash; when such a file is passed
to a utility it will be escaped to avoid it being interpreted as an
option. (I went a little overboard and got the type checker involved
in this, so such files are rather comprehensively supported now.)
* New backends: SHA512 SHA384 SHA256 SHA224
(Supported on systems where corresponding shaNsum commands are available.)
* describe: New subcommand that can set or change the description of
a repository.
* Fix test suite to reap zombies.
(Zombies can be particularly annoying on OSX; thanks to Jimmy Tang
for his help eliminating the infestation... for now.)
* Make test suite not rely on a working cp -pr.
(The Unix wars are still ON!)
* Look for dir.git directories the same as git does.
* Support remote urls specified as relative paths.
* Support non-ssh remote paths that contain tilde expansions.
* fsck: Check for and repair location log damage.
* Bugfix: When fsck detected and moved away corrupt file content, it did
not update the location log.

git-annex (0.20) unstable; urgency=low
* Preserve specified file ordering when instructed to act on multiple
files or directories. For example, "git annex get a b" will now always
get "a" before "b". Previously it could operate in either order.
* unannex: Commit staged changes at end, to avoid some confusing behavior
with the pre-commit hook, which would see some types of commits after
an unannex as checking in of an unlocked file.
* map: New subcommand that uses graphviz to display a nice map of
the git repository network.
* Deal with the mtl/monads-fd conflict.
* configure: Check for sha1sum.

git-annex (0.19) unstable; urgency=low
* configure: Support using the uuidgen command if the uuid command is
not available.
* Allow --exclude to be specified more than once.
* There are now three levels of repository trust.
* untrust: Now marks the current repository as untrusted.
* semitrust: Now restores the default trust level. (What untrust used to do.)
* fsck, drop: Take untrusted repositories into account.
* Bugfix: Files were copied from trusted remotes first even if their
annex.cost was higher than other remotes.
* Improved temp file handling. Transfers of content can now be resumed
from temp files later; the resume does not have to be the immediate
next git-annex run.
* unused: Include partially transferred content in the list.
* Bugfix: Running a second git-annex while a first has a transfer in
progress no longer deletes the first processes's temp file.

(Did not affect ssh remotes.)
* fsck: Fix bug in moving of corrupted files to .git/annex/bad/
* migrate: Fix support for --backend option.

git-annex (0.16) unstable; urgency=low
* git-annex-shell: Avoid exposing any git repo config except for the
annex.uuid when doing configlist.
* bugfix: Running `move --to` with a remote whose UUID was not yet known
could result in git-annex not recording on the local side where the
file was moved to. This could not result in data loss, or even a
significant problem, since the remote *did* record that it had the file.
* Also, add a general guard to detect attempts to record information
about repositories with missing UUIDs.
* bugfix: Running `move --to` with a non-ssh remote failed.
* bugfix: Running `copy --to` with a non-ssh remote actually did a move.
* Many test suite improvements. Current top-level test coverage: 65%

git-annex (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
* Support scp-style urls for remotes (host:path).
* Support ssh urls containing "~".
* Add trust and untrust subcommands, to allow configuring repositories
that are trusted to retain files without explicit checking.
* Fix bug in numcopies handling when multiple remotes pointed to the
same repository.
* Introduce the git-annex-shell command. It's now possible to make
a user have it as a restricted login shell, similar to git-shell.
* Note that git-annex will always use git-annex-shell when accessing
a ssh remote, so all of your remotes need to be upgraded to this
version of git-annex at the same time.
* Now rsync is exclusively used for copying files to and from remotes.
scp is not longer supported.

* In .gitattributes, the annex.numcopies attribute can be used
to control the number of copies to retain of different types of files.
* Bugfix: Always correctly handle gitattributes when in a subdirectory of

git-annex (0.05) unstable; urgency=low
* Optimize both pre-commit and lock subcommands to not call git diff

(This actually also works around a bug in ghc, that caused
git-annex 0.04 pre-commit to sometimes corrupt filename being read
from git ls-files and fail.
See <http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4493>
The excessive number of calls made by pre-commit exposed the ghc bug.

git-annex (0.04) unstable; urgency=low
* Add unlock subcommand, which replaces the symlink with a copy of
the file's content in preparation of changing it. The "edit" subcommand
is an alias for unlock.
* Add lock subcommand.
* Unlocked files will now automatically be added back into the annex when
committed (and the updated symlink committed), by some magic in the
pre-commit hook.
* The SHA1 backend is now fully usable.
* Add annex.version, which will be used to automate upgrades
between incompatible versions.
* Reorganised the layout of .git/annex/
* The new layout will be automatically upgraded to the first time
git-annex is used in a repository with the old layout.
* Note that git-annex 0.04 cannot transfer content from old repositories
that have not yet been upgraded.
* Annexed file contents are now made unwritable and put in unwriteable
directories, to avoid them accidentially being removed or modified.
(Thanks Josh Triplett for the idea.)

* Fix crash on unknown symlinks.
* Added remote.annex-scp-options and remote.annex-ssh-options.
* The backends to use when adding different sets of files can be configured
via gitattributes.
* In .gitattributes, the git-annex-backend attribute can be set to the
names of backends to use when adding different types of files.

break them.
* More intelligent and fast staging of modified files; git add coalescing.
* Add remote.annex-ignore git config setting to allow completly disabling
a given remote.
* --from/--to can be used to control the remote repository that git-annex
