* 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.

Suppose you have a USB thumb drive and are using it as a git annex
|
|
repository. You don't trust the drive, because you could lose it, or
|
|
accidentally run it through the laundry. Or, maybe you have a drive that
|
|
you know is dying, and you'd like to be warned if there are any files
|
|
on it not backed up somewhere else. Maybe the drive has already died
|
|
or been lost.
|
|
|
|
You can let git-annex know that you don't trust a repository, and it will
|
|
adjust its behavior to avoid relying on that repositories's continued
|
|
availability.
|
|
|
|
# git annex untrust usbdrive
|
|
untrust usbdrive ok
|
|
|
|
Now when you do a fsck, you'll be warned appropriately:
|
|
|
|
# git annex fsck .
|
|
fsck my_big_file
|
|
Only these untrusted locations may have copies of this file!
|
|
05e296c4-2989-11e0-bf40-bad1535567fe -- portable USB drive
|
|
Back it up to trusted locations with git-annex copy.
|
|
failed
|
|
|
|
Also, git-annex will refuse to drop a file from elsewhere just because
|
|
it can see a copy on the untrusted repository.
|
|
|
|
It's also possible to tell git-annex that you have an unusually high
|
|
level of trust for a repository. See [[trust]] for details.
