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.

Hello,
I want to use git-annex on a couple of machines that are not under my control (and one that is). For that I use the provided static build, but encountered several problems:
I suppose the first step for command line use is to execute runshell:
On one machine:
flindner@yoko:~> software/git-annex.linux/runshell
/bin/bash: /lib64/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.11' not found (required by /home/flindner/software/git-annex.linux//lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.6)
Is there anything I can do about it?
On the other machine:
flindner@bladefoam2:~$ software/git-annex.linux/runshell
bash-4.1$
It starts a bare, non-configured shell instance. Can I modifiy and source the script to only set the environment and not start up a new shell?
Another question: If using ssh:// remotes, how can I tell git-annex the first command to set up the environment need in order to execute command via SSH?
Thanks,
Florian
