Code change should be trvial, but not yet implemented. This significantly complicated the task of documenting how git-annex works. I'm not sure how useful the annex.gitaddtoannex confguration is after this change; seems that if a user has an annex.largefiles they will want it applied consistently. But the last thing I want to hear is more complaining from users about git add doing something they don't want it to. There's a pretty high risk users who got used to the git add behavior and don't have annex.largefiles configured will miss the NEWS and complain bitterly about their suddenly bloated repositories. Oh well. Removed outdated comments about the old behavior to avoid confusion. I don't know if I've found all the places that griping spread to.

git-annex (7.20191024) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
When annex.largefiles is not configured, `git add` and `git commit -a`
|
|
add files to git, not to the annex. If you have gotten used to `git add`
|
|
adding all files to the annex, you can get that behavior back by running:
|
|
git config annex.largefiles anything

git-annex (7.20190912) upstream; urgency=medium
|
|
|
|
This version of git-annex uses repository version 7 for all repositories.
|
|
|
|
Existing v5 repositories will be automatically upgraded by default.
|
|
You can prevent this, by runing: git config annex.autoupgraderepository false
|
|
|
|
A v7 repository can can have some files locked while other files are
|
|
unlocked, and all git and git-annex commands can be used on both locked and
|
|
unlocked files. It's a good idea to make sure that all users of the
|
|
repository have upgraded git-annex and upgraded their repositories
|
|
to the new version before starting to use that feature, since old
|
|
versions of git-annex will ignore the new unlocked files.
|
|
|
|
The behavior of some commands changes in an upgraded repository:
|
|
|
|
* `git add` will add files to the annex, rather than adding them directly
|
|
to the git repository. To cause some files to be added directly
|
|
to git, you can configure `annex.largefiles`. For example:
|
|
|
|
git config annex.largefiles "largerthan=100kb and not (include=*.c or include=*.h)"
|
|
|
|
* `git annex unlock` and `git annex lock` change how the pointer to
|
|
the annexed content is stored in git. If you commit the change,
|
|
that will impact all clones of the repository.

Repository version 7 is now available. v6 repositories will automatically
|
|
upgrade to v7. v5 repositories are still supported and will not be
|
|
automatically upgraded yet.
|
|
|
|
Direct mode is deprecated, and upgrading direct mode repositories to v7 is
|
|
encouraged, unless they need to remain usable by older versions of git-annex.
|
|
Just run `git annex upgrade`.
|
|
|
|
git-annex will no longer initialize new repositories on crippled filesystems
|
|
using direct mode, instead it uses v7.
|
|
|
|
The git-annex Android app is no longer being updated. Users of the app
|
|
should remove it and install using the new Termux based installation method.

|
|
|
|
A security fix has changed git-annex to refuse to download content from
|
|
some special remotes when the content cannot be verified with a hash check.
|
|
In particular URL and WORM keys stored on such remotes won't be downloaded.
|
|
See the documentation of the annex.security.allow-unverified-downloads
|
|
configuration for how to deal with this if it affects your files.
|
|
|
|
A security fix has changed git-annex to only support http, https, and ftp
|
|
URL schemes by default. You can enable other URL schemes, at your own risk,
|
|
using annex.security.allowed-url-schemes.
|
|
|
|
A related security fix prevents git-annex from connecting to http
|
|
servers (and proxies) on localhost or private networks. This can
|
|
be overridden, at your own risk, using annex.security.allowed-http-addresses.
|
|
|
|
Setting annex.web-options no longer is enough to make curl be used,
|
|
and youtube-dl is also no longer used by default. See the
|
|
documentation of annex.security.allowed-http-addresses for
|
|
details and how to enable them.
|
|
|
|
The annex.web-download-command configuration has been removed,
|
|
use annex.web-options instead.

|
|
|
Note that, due to not using rsync to transfer files over ssh
|
|
any longer, permissions and other file metadata of annexed files
|
|
will no longer be preserved when copying them to and from ssh remotes.
|
|
Other remotes never supported preserving that information, so
|
|
this is not considered a regression.

This version of git-annex has mitigations for SHA1 hash collision
|
|
problems.
|
|
|
|
A new annex.securehashesonly configuration, when used in combination with
|
|
signed git commits, avoids potential hash collision problems in git-annex
|
|
repositories. For details, see this web page:

|
|
XMPP support has been removed from the assistant in this release.
|
|
|
|
If your repositories used XMPP to keep in sync, that will no longer
|
|
work, and you should enable some other remote to keep them in sync.
|
|
A ssh server is one way, or use the new Tor pairing feature.

if you created one you must manually upgrade it.

There was a bug in the handling of directory special remotes that
|
|
could cause partial file contents to be stored in them. If you use
|
|
a directory special remote, you should fsck it, to avoid potential
|
|
data loss.
|
|
|
|
Example: git annex fsck --from mydirectory

|
There has been another change to the git-annex data store.
|
|
Use `git annex upgrade` to migrate your repositories to the new
|
|
layout. See <http://git-annex.branchable.com/upgrades/> or
|
|
/usr/share/doc/git-annex/html/upgrades.html
|
|
|
|
The significant change this time is that the .git-annex/ directory
|
|
is gone; instead there is a git-annex branch that is automatically
|
|
maintained by git-annex, and encapsulates all its state nicely out
|
|
of your way.
|
|
|
|
You should make sure you include the git-annex branch when
|
|
git pushing and pulling.
