Joey Hess 7189dfd77d git-annex (5.20131127) unstable; urgency=low
* webapp: Detect when upgrades are available, and upgrade if the user
    desires.
    (Only when git-annex is installed using the prebuilt binaries
    from git-annex upstream, not from eg Debian.)
  * assistant: Detect when the git-annex binary is modified or replaced,
    and either prompt the user to restart the program, or automatically
    restart it.
  * annex.autoupgrade configures both the above upgrade behaviors.
  * Added support for quvi 0.9. Slightly suboptimal due to limitations in its
    interface compared with the old version.
  * Bug fix: annex.version did not get set on automatic upgrade to v5 direct
    mode repo, so the upgrade was performed repeatedly, slowing commands down.
  * webapp: Fix bug that broke switching between local repositories
    that use the new guarded direct mode.
  * Android: Fix stripping of the git-annex binary.
  * Android: Make terminal app show git-annex version number.
  * Android: Re-enable XMPP support.
  * reinject: Allow to be used in direct mode.
  * Futher improvements to git repo repair. Has now been tested in tens
    of thousands of intentionally damaged repos, and successfully
    repaired them all.
  * Allow use of --unused in bare repository.

With Amazon EC2, it is possible to take a snapshot of the virtual machine and then bring up multiple instances based on the snapshot.
If I configure git annex assistant to sync a folder to S3, will it work correctly if I spin up multiple instances, all identical git annex assistant configurations?
My use case is to allow users of my forums to upload attachments with their posts. The attachments are stored locally on disk, but I'm hoping that git annex assistant can help synchroise the attachments across all forum instances (I usually run only 1 instance, but their could be as many as 3 under heavy load).
