git-annex 8.20200309 released with [[!toggle text="these changes"]]
[[!toggleable text="""
* Fix bug that caused unlocked annexed dotfiles to be added to git by the
smudge filter when annex.dotfiles was not set.
* Upgrade other repos than the current one by running git-annex upgrade
inside them, which avoids problems with upgrade code making assumptions
that the cwd will be inside the repo being upgraded. In particular,
this fixes a problem where upgrading a v7 repo to v8 caused an ugly
git error message.
* Fix upgrade failure when a file has been deleted from the working tree.
* Fix regression 1 month ago that prevented external special remotes from
using GETCONFIG to query values like "name".
* Improve behavior when a directory git-annex is writing to gets
unmounted. Previously it could in some cases re-create the mount point
and directory tree, and even write object contents to the wrong disk.
* Don't ignore --debug when it is followed by -c.
* whereis: If a remote fails to report on urls where a key
is located, display a warning, rather than giving up and not displaying
any information.
* When external special remotes fail but neglect to provide an error
message, say what request failed, which is better than displaying an
empty error message to the user.
* git-annex config: Only allow configs be set that are ones git-annex
actually supports reading from repo-global config, to avoid confusion.
* Avoid converting .git file in a worktree or submodule to a symlink
when the repository is not a git-annex repository.
* Linux standalone: Use md5sum to shorten paths in .cache/git-annex/locales
* Fix build with ghc 8.8 (MonadFail)
Thanks, Peter Simons
* stack.yaml: Updated to lts-14.27."""]]
